Compile time failure

[dlrobertson]

When using the latest nightly rustc and compiling on the master branch I get the following.

error[E0282]: type annotations needed
   --> src/ipc.rs:155:42

error: aborting due to previous error
error: Could not compile `ipc-channel`.

This is broken on TravisCI, too.

Quick workaround is to make the dep in cargo read bincode = "=1.0.0-alpha2".

Until rust-lang/cargo#2222 is resolved, you should always depend on pre-release version using "=1.0.0-alpha2". Semver makes no guarantee about compatibility between alphaN and alphaN+1.
