Under SunOS 4.1.2 (sun4c) using idl 3.6.1a the idl session is abruptly terminated
when you attempt to do (example):
WINDOW,/FREE,/PIXMAP,xsize=1000,ysize=1000
and you have not enough memory to allocate the pixmap.
You get the message:
> % WINDOW: Unable to create X windows pixmap
> (BadAlloc).
What is the most efficient method to catch this situation within your procedure?
Thanks for helps,
