It is indeed fixed in the upcoming 8.0.1 patch (should be just a few
weeks).

I reported this to ITTvis a couple of months ago. The support engineer
told me
it will be fixed in the next upcoming IDL update.

Isn't it interesting how difficult it is to tell if
something is a bug or not? It is particularly difficult
for me in IDL 8. I had built up some confidence in IDL
over the years, so I was getting better at this. Now
my confidence is back to about where it was when I was
just starting out, all those many years ago. ;-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say Coyote's take on this is that it's
like being endlessly young and naive. The whole world
our oyster again!

If you are missing something, then so am I. To me it looks like a bug.

I agree that this looks like a bug in the IDL 8.0 garbage
collection. It works correctly in IDL 7.1.
One "fix" is to turn off garbage collection (so your code works the
same as in IDL 7.1) by adding
!null = heap_refcount(/disable)
to your startup file. --Wayne
