I only recently migrated to IDL8, and have noticed that calls to
dialog_pickfile immediately crash my session if I have more than one
instance of IDLDE running (I have one instance running something
fairly substantial, and wanted to work on something else in the second
instance). I'm on Linux/CentOS5, using IDL 8.0.1. Has anyone else
run into this? Seems like a bug to me, since in older versions this
wasn't a problem.

Oh, boy, does this bring back the nightmares! :-(
In my case, it was because IDL was finding a file left over
from a beta version of the software in one of my IDL
directories. Before you do anything rash, I would
take everything off your IDL path except the IDL default
directories and see if that helps. Then, add your
path directories back one by one, testing as you go.
Cheers,
David

I'm having this problem on a macintosh, IDL 8.5, only one instance running.

You are likely running into a problem with the newest version of XQuartz. I had the same issue. All widgets were crashing for me. Harris has an article here about it:

Their suggestion of changing the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH will NOT work with OSX El Capitan (and probably Sierra as well), due to a new security feature in OSX related to this:

Your only solution is likely to back out your XQuartz version to 2.7.9 or earlier.

The new IDL 8.6 release (in combination with XQuartz 2.7.11) fixes this bug.
