how do you get your data into IDL? If you are using CALL_EXTERNAL or the
likes: are you 100% sure, the leak is not stemming from your linked program
rather than IDL itself? One way to test would be to replace the external
program with some dummy IDL routine to provide you with dummy data. If
the leak still occurs, well, then it's probably IDL (if not Windows).
