Well, I'm just borrowing this machine, really. But it is
a Dell 8300 with a 3GHz Pentium(R) 4 CPU processor and
1GByte of RAM.

I can't tell if it is because I am installing old
software on it that is causing it to hang more often,
or what. But I have definitely had the ol' Task Manager
out more often than I did with my old Windows 2000 Pro machine.

The machine came directly from the factory, and I immediately
downloaded all the Windows updates that were required before
installing any software. Maybe I did that in the wrong order. :-(

The IDL thing, though, seems to be unrelated. It is
extremely reproducible and I spent a day going completely
through the code to see if I had done something unbelievably
stupid. (Likely, but I sure didn't find it.) What do you
do with a program that works perfectly, cleans up after itself,
but won't run again unless you give it a fifteen minute
coffee break? I've heard of union rules, but this is
ridiculous. :-(

Cheers,

David
