This is not related to earlier questions about /FILL.

Contour dies on me with a strange error when I use the follow flag.

IDL> contour, z, max_value = 999.
IDL> contour, z, max_value = 999., /follow
% Array has a corrupted descriptor: <No name>.
% Execution halted at MKMAP </home/bowman/mkmap.pro( 91)>
(CONTOUR).
% Called from MKMOVIE </home/bowman/mkmovie.pro( 69)>.
% Called from $MAIN$ .


How does an array descriptor become corrupted? (aside from hanging out with
the wrong people) In this case, the first two rows of the array are
missing (set to 10^6). If I omit those rows, i.e.

IDL> contour, z(*,2:*), max_value = 999., /follow

it's happy.

BTW, IDL 3.5.1.
