Well, shucks. ;-)
Actually, I'm just an avid reader of the IDL newsgroup. I remember
Phillip David reporting on this problem when IDL 5.2 first came out. :-)
Cheers,

My guess is that the PATHs are different and that the IDL 5.2
version is searching though more library routines than the IDL 5.1
version. Try re-arranging your Path so that you search the directories
with your programs in them first.

David
