Since moving IDL from an HP running HP-UX 9.01, to machines
running 10.10 and 10.20, users are reporting serious problems.
One I have just reproduced myself is that IDL eats
CPU cycles when doing nothing. It's sufficient to start IDL,
enter 'demo',and exit the demo again to start IDL consuming
100% of the CPU while doing nothing. Has anyone else seen
this problem or know of a fix? I have looked in the Web and
in the FAQ with no results.

We had the same problem after migrating from HP-UX 9.07 to HP-UX 10.02 a
couple of weeks ago.
Our IDL distributor attributed this to a bug in the /usr/lib/libcurses.sl.
Since there was no patch available for that library then, they proposed to
replace libcurses.sl by libcur_colr.sl. In other words, redirect the
symbolic link
libcurses.sl -> /usr/lib/libcurses.1
to
libcurses.sl -> /usr/lib/libcur_colr.1
It works and hasn't caused any "sideeffect harm" yet.
