I agree but I'm not sure who's to blame first. For the MacOS the poor
memory management is a old and known story and every programmer
has to tackle this. The port of IDL to Mac is IMHO rather poor, specially
for add-ons like ENVI. And most of the crashes are due to memory
allocation problems.

Servus, Helge
