My IDL code was run on a linux machine with 64GB memory. But IDL kept crashing when running through LABEL_REGION function, ending up with error message of "segmentation fault". I'm wondering if IDL has any limitation the size of array that a function can handle? Or this crashing is caused by configuration of my machine? Any idea how to this problem will be appreciated!!

Hi Daisy,

There is a known bug with LABEL_REGION (bug #IDL-68761), where it is not able to handle 64-bit memory addresses. Currently, you can only use the function for arrays that are less than 2 Gb in size. I am hoping to fix this bug in IDL 8.3, which is due out later this fall.

Cheers,
Chris
