We have experienced the same problem. Also not reproducible on command, but
the best way seems to be to show a sizeable movie. No problem with IDL 4.0 and
SunOS 4.1.3, just Solaris 2.4. We've been in contact with both RSI and Sun,
hoping they could track it down, but no response so far. Users really like it
when they get a couple of hours into an interactive session, then IDL freezes.
