If this isn't machine specific then I would check if it is configuration
specific. Often times PC's at institutions are all configured similarly say
with remote backup software, or special networking or security software.
Maybe try it on your home machine.
Or, could this be a problem with data?
Did this just start happening? Can you trace it to any changes in the code
or your IDL distribution?
If you can eliminate these two possibilities then I would trace the problem
to the offending IDL call and submit it as a bug. The more information you
can provide, the better.

I'm dealing with something similar--a program that won't run
twice in succession unless a window is opened between times.
But it appears to be machine-specific. I'm leaning toward
a bad bit of RAM at the moment, but have found nothing
definite yet. Save Windows XP system with IDL 6.03.
Cheers,
David
