  This function returns the number of sections found in a dictionary.
  The test to recognize sections is done on the string stored in the
  dictionary: a section name is given as "section" whereas a key is
  stored as "section:key", thus the test looks for entries that do not
  contain a colon.

  This clearly fails in the case a section name contains a colon, but
  this should simply be avoided.

  This function returns -1 in case of error.
