********* I believe this is the problem - you need to attach
ivds to the TOP of your main program - the function needs
to be defined before the first reference to it.

It may be that in 4.*, you used a different ordering of your
functtions, or that you first compiled both routines before
running either. It may also be connected with the introduction
of the [] notation for defining arrays.=

My suggestion is to put poly_fita in a separate file called
poly_fita.pro that is on the IDL search path and see if this
helps.
