IDL People,

This could easily be some sysadmin-type issue on my system, but I
wanted to find out if anyone had observed this behavior. I have a cron
job that runs an IDL script every six hours. From time to time, it
seems, the script does not complete. This would mean my script has a
problem, but what's vexing here is HOW it does not complete:
-- no errors;
-- IDL doesn't exit;
-- what's really bad: the license is not released.

The last two are "inconsistent with my expectations" (read: WTF) for
non-interactive jobs with IDL.

Anyone else experienced this type of problem?
