My apologies to anyone who is seeing this message twice.

One cheap trick is to replicate the vector three times and do the
label_region on the resulting 2-D array:

vec = [0,0,0,2,2,2,0,1,5,1,2,1,0,0,0,3,99,3,3]
arr = [0,vec,0] # [1,1,1] ; Avoid edge effects.
lab2d = label_region(arr)
lab1d = (lab2d[*,1])[1:n_elements(vec)]

Another thing you can do if you just want the endpoints of the runs is
this:

nv = n_elements(vec)
flag = [0, vec NE 0, 0] ; Avoid endpoint effects.
diff = flag[1:nv+1] - flag[0:nv]
run_start = where(diff EQ 1)
run_end = where(diff EQ -1) - 1

Footnote: Be careful with the type of the flag array, which
later determines the type of the diff array. Comparisons may depend
on variable type, because of signed vs. unsigned. In other words,
-1b (byte) is not equal to -1 (integer) because -1b is actually 255.
