This is a good example of what you can use the sophisticated system of
breakpoints that IDL comes with. Debugging is convenient and simple. The
only thing not there is an automatic coffe pot that would brew any time
a bug is found :-)
As a universal method, you could check SIZE, /TYPE every time you use a
variable. Never fails, but may double your code length when used on
every second line :-)

Cheers,
Pavel
