IDL 7.1 dialog_pickfile segmentation fault [message #67197] Wed, 08 July 2009 13:40

I recently got a few new computers and installed the most recent IDL
(7.1). Then I noticed that some of my old code caused IDL to seg-
fault.

I can reproduce this problem at will. All I have to do is make a call
to dialog_pickfile(), with both DEFAULT_EXTENSION and FILTER keywords
set. Then when I click "OK" in the dialog box, I get a segmentation
fault.

It doesn't seem to matter what you set the values of these keywords
to, whether you choose a file from the list or type one in, or even
leave it blank. When you click "OK" you get a segmentation fault.

Here is an example

> idl
IDL Version 7.1 (linux x86_64 m64). (c) 2009, ITT Visual Information
Solutions

IDL> a = dialog_pickfile(default_extension='txt',filter='*.txt')
Segmentation fault
>

I get exactly the same behavior on a different platform running 7.1

> idl
IDL Version 7.1, Solaris (sunos x86_64 m64). (c) 2009, ITT Visual
Information Solutions

IDL> a = dialog_pickfile(default_extension='txt',filter='*.txt')
Segmentation fault
>

Everything works fine on earlier versions of IDL.
