It turns out I *do* have it in IDL 5.5 for SGI, and it's documented in the
printed version of "What's New in IDL 5.5" (pp. 228-252), but I can't find
an online PDF version of the document.

IDL Version 5.5 (IRIX mipseb). (c) 2001, Research Systems, Inc.

IDL> help, griddata(findgen(20, 20), dist(20))
% Compiled module: DIST.
% Loaded DLM: QHULL.
% GRIDDATA: Leading coordinate dimension must be 2.
