So the routine that's crashing your machine (and mine) is as follows
(shortened)...

pro test_ref_extra1,_REF_EXTRA=e
test_ref_extra2, _REF_EXTRA=e ; Here be dragons!
end

This isn't merely bad practice, it's wrong. The _REF_EXTRA keyword is only
used in routine definitions. When *calling* a routine, the acceptable forms
are "_EXTRA" and (as of 5.5) "_STRICT_EXTRA".

Still, it shouldn't crash IDL. It should be detected as a syntax error.
