You can try this:

boundaries = classimage*0
boundaries[where( (classimage-shift(classimage,1,0) ne 0) $
or (classimage-shift(classimage,0,1) ne 0) )] = 1

I've done some "blob" analysis before and I've discovered
there are fast ways and there are slow ways. The fast ways,
naturally, involve a histogram. You may find some ideas
about how to solve your problem by reading some of these
articles. I'd probably start with this one:
