I think it must be a general rule by now that any time
you fail to have a LHS of an expression in IDL (by, for
example, putting the RHS in parentheses and thereby
making it a temporary variable) there is an excellent
chance you will crash IDL. Just on the face of it,
I would guess there must be an almost unlimited
number of these expressions.

I'm not so sure this is a bug as much as it is a peek
into the underlying structure of the IDL code. In any
case, I'm not surprised by it any longer.

Cheers,

David
