I beg to differ. IDL, being a high-level language, provides
rudimentary debugging as part of its built-in error handling. As you
point out, there is in this case an error, in my code, which causes
IDL to halt execution. However, in the case of this particular
exception, there is an error, in IDL's error-handling routine, which
results in the location where the exception occurs not being reported.
Fixing errors in my own code is nothing new, it's what I do all day.
But if I wanted to fix code without the benefit of any indication of
where the error occurred, I'd write in assembly language.

I am not asking anyone to fix whatever was in my code that caused IDL
to crap out. I am reporting a flaw in IDL's error-handling that
results in certain exceptions not reporting proper debugging
information.
