Folks,
For those of you who would enjoy a coffee break (or
who wish to join me for something stronger), you might
try running the following program in IDL 8.1. It will
crash my Windows machine every single time.
I have narrowed the problem to the TICKNAME keyword
in the Colorbar() function. Remove that and all is well.
I am especially curious to see what this does on other
operating systems. :-)
Please be sure to close all your applications besides
IDL 8.1 when you try this, or you might be spending the
rest of the day re-installing software.
Cheers,
David

Program ran, window and plot were created, nothing else happened. No crashes.
Using IDL 8.1 (command line) under OS X 10.6.8 on a Macbook Pro (15", 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5, Built-in Intel HD graphics and PCIe NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M).
The colorbar labels *do* look horrific (four trailing zeros after the last significant digit), but not enough to make my brain crash.
