Hey, guys,

This problem is due to a stack overflow in the code that cleans up the
heap. I submitted a fix and it should show up in a future version. A
quick band-aid until then is to increase the stack size for IDL. On
*nix systems, that's usually done with the "ulimit" command. On
Windows, I think you can do it with "editbin.exe". Here's a webpage
that has a little bit more detail on how to increase the stack size:
http://www.cs.nyu.edu/exact/core/doc/stackOverflow.txt

Unfortunately, this work around isn't a complete fix. You can still
run into this problem, but it will take a much larger object to hit
it. On OS X, setting the stack size to the maximum let me run the
OP's code with n=149000l.
