There is a bug in var_to_dt (idl 5.1).
Try this:
a=var_to_dt(1980) ; Fine
a=var_to_dt([1980]) ; Fails
a=var_to_dt([1980,1981]) ; Fine
Why? Because var_to_dt "cleverly" looks to see if its input has more than one
element - if so it recursively calls itself with the individual elements. But
if it is given a one-element array as input it then uncleverly fails. The fix
is to patch the code to look at (size(yyyy))(0) to see if it is an array, I think.
