Apparently it is a problem with Sun, not idl. RSI suggested installing
patches 103461 and 103186. This makes sence because the same verion of idl
running on a sgi didn't have the problem.

Yeah, I tried something simalar, only the paths are too long. The idl code
I am working on is part of a production system used for verification, and most
of the paths to the existing data are too long. I would need another moniter :)
Thanks for your advice, I think I will look at hacking pickfile.pro to remove the
paths.
