I've taken it as the Gospel truth that if files
are named correctly this problem NEVER occurs:

http://www.dfanning.com/tips/namefiles.html

But I ran into a situation about a month ago, and I
don't remember all the details now, but, basically,
the ONLY way to solve the problem was to add a
compile option. It made me wonder if IDL had changed
something about the order in which it sorts things out,
because I had never run into this problem before.

I'll have to get a beer or two, probably, before I
can remember all the details. :-(

Cheers,

David
