Crashes here, too:

IDL> print,!version
{ sparc sunos unix 5.3 Nov 11 1999}

(Or rather, it crashes when you try to do anything *after* executing
that histogram call).

By the way, talking to Bill Thompson I just learned that it's now
possible to say:

IDL> a=fltarr(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2)
IDL> help,a[0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

which used to give some kind of syntax error in previous IDL versions
(4.x, at least) whereas it would work with 7 subscripts, but not 8.
However, look at this:

IDL> help,[0,0]
<Expression> INT = Array[2]
IDL> help,[[0],[0]]
<Expression> INT = Array[1, 2]
IDL> help,[[[0]],[[0]]]
<Expression> INT = Array[1, 1, 2]
IDL> help,[[[[0]]],[[[0]]]]

help,[[[[0]]],[[[0]]]]
^
% Only eight levels of variable concatenation are allowed.

Obviously, they forgot to fix all aspects of the parser...
