The problem seems to be that both textoidl and IDL use a function called
strtok.
Here's the weird bit: it's undocumented in IDL, but is there alright:
IDL> print, strtok('hi there')
0 3
So textoidl is using the IDL version, not its own, and therefore won't
work.
This really sucks and it's most unfortunate that such a well-known
package like this has been inadvertently clobbered without a hint of
documentation.
