Hi Fabien,
sorry I didn't specify the !Version:

IDL> !VERSION
{
"ARCH": "x86_64",
"OS": "Win32",
"OS_FAMILY": "Windows",
"OS_NAME": "MicrosoftWindows",
"RELEASE": "8.4",
"BUILD_DATE": "Sep272014",
"MEMORY_BITS": 64,
"FILE_OFFSET_BITS": 64
}

This sequence of commands crashes IDL:

IDL> a = dictionary()
IDL> a['item'] = 0l
IDL> a.item++

Whereas this works:
IDL> a = dictionary()
IDL> a['item'] = 0l
IDL> a['item']++
IDL> a
{
"item": 1
}

I never tried this in 8.3 and I've uninstalled 8.3 already.

Cheers,
Helder
