In code produced with my dlmform program, I see that calls corresponding
to e.g.
n = IDL_CvtLng(1,&argv[2]) /* May cause n to be tmp */
is followed with
if (n != argv[2]) IDL_DELTMP(n);
just before the return of the function. So, I think what IDL is complaining
about is that you haven't explicitly deleted the temporary variables (which
may or may not be created in the conversion calls).
IDL is doing it for you, but it's not very happy about it! Bug, feature,
sanity check, call it what you want. My guess is that it's a QA thing for
their own programmers, really.
