Issue with associative array example

I was just learning about associative arrays in SmallBASIC and unfortunately there seems to be an issue with the exmaple:
https://smallbasic.github.io/pages/features.html
tload "/etc/passwd", buffer
dim users
for row in buffer
split row, ":", fields()
if (len(fields) > 0) then
local user
user.name = fields(0)
user.passwd = fields(1)
user.userId = fields(2)
user.groupId = fields(3)
' Line below seems linked to error
users(user.name) = user
fi
next row
? users("mail").userId
RTE-ERROR ... Line 11
Expr/RT: Not a number

I just realized, when doing 2 changes, the example works. But still DIM doesn't do, what it should.
tload "/etc/passwd", buffer
users = array("{}")
for row in buffer
split row, ":", fields()
if (ubound(fields) > 0) then
local user
user.name = fields(0)
user.passwd = fields(1)
user.userId = fields(2)
user.groupId = fields(3)
' Line below seems linked to error
users(user.name) = user
fi
next row
? users("mail").userId
