I've got an array of dictionaries ...

char[][char[]][] temp;

If I now set the length to pre-allocate 4 entries ...

temp.length = 4;

... the program goes into an infinite loop. It doesn't allocate, just uses 50% CPU (one entire core) and doesn't respond anymore. Is this a bug or is there something else wrong?

It's a bug. I've encountered it before, way back. It is caused by AA.init.length being 0, throwing the initialization code into an infinite loop.
 --downs

I see. Good to know that.
