This looks fine.

I'd bet you only *think* you're using IDLWAVE 5.2, but instead are using
the version bundled with Emacs, 4.7. Try C-h v idlwave-mode-version and
see what it says. If 4.7 (or something less than 5.2), see the FAQ
related to this problem at: http://idlwave.org/idlwave.html#TROUBLE.
The bottom line is that the breakpoint formatting changed in IDL5.5, and
so newer versions of IDLWAVE are needed to work with versions later than
that. It often occurs that you think you've installed and are using a new
version of IDLWAVE, but actually are not. It's easy to fix. The FAQ
addresses this.
