Hi,
I've came across an awkward error using dictionaries and dot syntax.
The bug is pretty straight forward to reproduce, but the idl crashes hard. In windows 7, the window simply disappears and I'm left with a bug report.

Here we go:

a = dictionary()
a['item'] = 0l
a.item++ ;source of the crash

using array syntax is ok:

a['item']++ instead works.

In case anybody is willing to try this... is this IDL 8.4 related or was it also the case in 8.3?

Any chance this gets repaired soon?

Cheers,
Helder
