1. No - there is no line in readfits.pro that reads "8 unsigned
int....". This looks instead to me like something typically
written in the comment field of the FITS header (for the keyword
BITPIX).


2. It looks like the error is occurring in the FOR-ENDFOR loop --
before the FOREACH loop is even reached! Is that right?


I have no idea what is going on but if forced to choose I would say
that this is a string descriptor problem rather than a FOREACH
problem. In particular, I would suspect that there is an IDL 8.0
Windows bug in the processing of empty strings. --Wayne
