I have a really snarky comment Coyote is insisting I make,
but I'm resisting. :-)

I doubt IDL 8.0 (which, like all "dot 0" releases, is pretty suspect)
is causing your problems.

I would guess it's more OS related and possible related
to how input buffers are flushed. You might try adding
a FLUSH, lun command to be sure the logical unit number
empties before you try to do something with the data.

Cheers,

David
