This is the first time I've heard of a crash with 0.2.1. It would be
interesting to know if it was the X server or IDL that crashes. Both of
your postings on this thread just say "crash". If just IDL crashed, you'd
pop back to your shell prompt in your xterm. If the X server crashed, all
of your X windows would go away, and X would leave your taskbar. This bit
of information is very useful for continuing the investigation.

Crashing apps generally leave a crash log file someplace on your system.
I'd be happy to take a look at it.

I noticed that you are on OS X 10.2.4. I am on 10.2.3. It is possible that
upgrading to 10.2.4 broke something. If X is crashing, then perhaps Apple
needs to release an updated beta. I have not seen anything on the Apple X11
mailing list yet. If IDL is crashing, then something changed in 10.2.4 that
IDL couldn't deal with. But I think that the more likely scenario is that
the X11 beta needs updating to work with 10.2.4 because the low-level code
that does the hardware graphics acceleration is much more sensitive to OS
changes than applications like IDL. Also, you say that software rendering
works, so that makes it even less likely that IDL is having toruble with
10.2.4.

How hard is it for you to stay at 10.2.3? The X11 beta code may simply
require 10.2.3 and only 10.2.3.
