huh, well, i see exactly the same weird behaviour you do. i have no idea
why. hopefully someone who knows more will be attracted by the noise :o)
one clue, perhaps, is that
julia> test = [ randBinStr(3) for i=1:0 ]
0-element Array{Union(ASCIIString,UTF8String),1}
gives the type. i would have expected that to say
0-element Array{None,1}
but it appears that there is some strange kind of type-inference happening?!
