Dict assignment problem

[timholy]

I poked at this a little, but in the end the error message makes little sense to me:

julia> load("strpack.jl")
no method assign(Dict{Any,Any},Int64,BitsKind)
in method_missing at base.jl:72

Seems like assigning to a Dict{Any,Any} should not be problematic. Even changing line 405 to c = similar(b) doesn't fix the problem.

Thanks, Carlo.
