Frankly I am shocked this hasn't been stated by now, but...

Not explicitly declaring a string before attempting to read a
character string from stdio or from file. The ability of IDL to read
short integers and floats sometimes allows us to take the non-fortran
route and read a variable without any declaration of its type. Not so
with strings. This is one I catch myself doing from time to time.

Cheers,
-Ben
