I guess I`m to blame. I added it because otherwise I got into trouble.
Anyway, I just added

GenericVector& operator=(real a) in GenericVector and
EpetraVector& operator=(real a) in EpetraVector,

and this seems inconsistent with the other operator=.
But seems to work fine. I am just confused about operators.
