Sorry if I'm not precise enough;

The data I have is an array that is later to be exported to an image.
The array is generated by simply making a 2200x2200 float array of
0's, and then changing the values to 1.0 at certain coordinates that
are given in a list of objects in a different image. That gives a 2D
array of 0's with a few 1's here and there, which is then to be
smoothed, so each pixel gets a value between 0 and 1, depending on how
far they are from the pixels originally of value 1.

The code line I have used is:

imgdata2 = filter_image( imgdata, FWHM_GAUSSIAN=300, /
ALL_PIXELS)

imgdata being the name of the array I've previously generated.
From GDL, I receive the messages

% Compiled module: FILTER_IMAGE.
% Compiled module: FACTOR.
% Compiled module: PRIME.
% Compiled module: PSF_GAUSSIAN.
% Compiled module: GAUSSIAN.
% Program caused arithmetic error: Floating underflow
% Compiled module: CONVOLVE.
Segmentation fault

and then it exits. In real IDL, it simply stalls indefinitely after "%
Compiled module: GAUSSIAN."
