Very odd. I haven't had these problems with call_external. Which
version of IDL are you using? I'm staying with an old version until
that beast of a dissertation is done. I wonder if call_external has
changed?

As a general note, using call_external, especially with the auto_glue
feature, is expensive computationally. It's usually best to roll your
own programs in IDL rather than try to import C codes. Unless you are
doing something ridiculously nerdy like generating Sobol numbers, or
something. :)
