Shapefile Woes [message #77825]

Folks,

I have been working with GSHHS shapefiles this morning.
The last time I worked with these files very extensively
was back in the IDL 6.4 days, when I didn't have any
trouble at all reading and displaying them.

But, already this morning, I have crashed IDL 8.1
at least half a dozen times just trying to read the
files and view the shapes.

Has anyone else noticed that IDL 8.1 is extremely
fragile around shapefiles? There are lots of pointers
in shapefiles. I wonder if this has something to do
with the automatic heap clean up procedures?

Cheers,

David
