The first thing to do is to set
!EXCEPT = 2
See the chapter on controlling errors in the "Building IDL Applications"
manual.

well i don't know if this is going to help at all, but i had a
quite similar problem when
i started using idl few weeks ago. i operated alog() to a matrix
which contained negative
values. error message was:
% Program caused arithmetic error: Floating divide by 0
% Program caused arithmetic error: Floating illegal operand
but the operation still ran to the end. values that couldn't be
calculated were replaced
with string '-NaN' in the result matrix. now you can at least
start tracing the problem :)
just convert the image matrix to string and execute the command
print,where(string_matrix eq ' -NaN')
notice the white spaces :)
check your calculations
and think what values are considered as 'bad data'. i hope this helps.
oh, the other possible string can be '-Inf'
