Are you able to do a SPAWN command, e.g., SPAWN,"ls *.pro",
and does it process e.g., wildcards correctly?

I think findfile actually uses the shell to do wildcard
expansion (and this is causing a problem with *looong* file
lists).

So: there might be a problem with IDL locating/executing
the shell, or something like that..? Just a wild guess.
