I have zero experience with IDL_IDLBridge but my guess is that the child
process doesn't know nor care what your CWD is. It also doesn't execute
your startup script. So either you have to have routines required by
the bridge on your path, or you have to follow the docs regarding
running a startup script within the child process to set up your
environment appropriately.
