You mean they still haven't fixed this!!! The original CDF routines on IDL
for win32 didn't have this limitation. It was introduced when RSI 'updated'
their code, and presumably used 16-bit code designed for DOS. This was
thoroughly unnecessary, because IDL for Windows has always been 32-bit. I
complained about it then and for several versions afterwards when the
problem went unfixed. Last I heard they were going to fix it REAL SOON.

I don't use CDF any more, partly for this reason.

My advice: COMPLAIN. I've given up.
