AXP VMS IDL problem with Control_C? [message #3560]

We are having problems with the Control_C interrupt in VMS IDL running under
AXP OpenVMS 6.1. The first time one calls Control_C it works properly,
as a keyboard interrupt returning one to the IDL prompt. But on subsequent
calls, it behaves like Control_Y and aborts one to the $ prompt. This
problem seems to occur under IDL V3.5, V3.6 and V3.6.1c, but didn't occur
the old operating system V1.5 and doesn't occur on the Vaxes. The problem
can be quite serious as the only way to abort an infinite or long IDL loop is
to abort the session.

Is anyone else familiar with this problem, and possibly found a solution?

Thanks
