Lost Functions [message #10226]

I have been having a very bizaare problem in IDL 5.0 on Solaris 2.6
involving Functions becoming 'lost'.
In my batch file i compile all functions. Output reads as expected:
Compiled Module: MY_FUNCTIONS
Then the batch file calls a main, the main then calls MY_FUNCTION, but
instead of working it says : Unknown Variable: MY_FUNCTION, even though
right above it it says that it is a compiled function. If you type Help
at this point MY_FUNCTION appears as a valid function.
Now here is the even weirder part.
I commented out MY_FUNCTION and put in a STOP. After the program stops
I enter MY_FUNCTION at the command prompt Exactly as it appears in the
script. It works fine. But if i .continue it will fail as before. I
have seen this behavior with several different functions.
Has anyone else experienced this?
