I am not quite sure how I got there but I have idl working and the
help also working (by help I mean using the "Help Contents" menu
option).
No more crash.

Updated the idl version to 7.0.3 (I think this prevents idlhelp
command from crashing but it does nothing now: no crash, no errors, no
results)
Changed the Web browser preference (this also produced crashes before)
- needed to disable xulrunner to prevent crashes by renaming
temporarily /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9
- New pref uses htmlviewer (or can be firefox directly)
But I have one machine back to the default system browser and it
seems ok so it might not be necessary
Finally I applied the fix mentionned above (see Greg), i.e. editing
idlde.linux.x86.ini to have
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null

Cheers
Christian

P.S. On my 64 bit system I was unable to update to 7.0.3 until I
disabled ipv6 (I used something like "ifconfig lo inet6 del ::1/128"
on all my interfaces). Without this I was getting errors of "Network
connection problems..."
