Hello, thanks in advance for any guidance provided.

I was migrating some code from 0.6.4 to 0.7, as a previous step to moving to 1.0: the very same code works on 0.6.4 but crashes on 0.7. To be honest, I don’t fully understand the backtrace, which I copy here:

Julia’s binary was the official 0.7 release, downloaded yesterday. I am working on Windows 10 Home (64-bit); if any further details are needed, I will gladly provide.

The problematic code is:

```julia
using Dates

const unixdate = Float64
const calendar = Array{unixdate, 1}

type capital
    deltadates::calendar
    capital::Array{Float64, 1}
end

function todayunix()
    Dates.datetime2unix(now())
end

function unixdate(year::Int64, month::Int64, day::Int64)
    Dates.datetime2unix(Dates.DateTime(year, month, day))
end

function bullet(inception::unixdate, maturity::unixdate)
    capital(calendar([inception, maturity]), [1.0, 0.0])
end

bullet(unixdate(2017,6,21), unixdate(2016,11,2)) # When I run this line, Julia crashes

```

Any advice on how to procede will be appreciated.  
Thanks in advance.

seems to be a julia 0.7 bug! I can reproduce it on 0.7, but not on 1.0.2!

It is good to know; I can just jump from 0.6.4 to 1.x and avoid the problem (using 0.7.0 was intended to get deprecation warnings; I guess the transition will be a little less smoother hehe).

Thanks!
