Would you be willing to let met try the IDL probram that crashes? I am
using V 8.6 on a clone, powerwave, with a G3 upgrade card and I have
never had a crash with IDL except when I used call_external that had
memory allocation/reference errors.

I am going on vacation for 2 weeks, so if you are interested in me
seeing if it is a Mac problem you may have to wait. Also there are some
extension that correct PCI bus errors on some clones. Do you have it?
