I was just on the phone with ITTVIS about another, related
problem. In IDL 7 the workbench was separated from the IDL
process. They decided to combine the workbench and the IDL
process in version 8, primarily because they had to do this
to get the Mac version running properly. But, unfortunately,
this has caused additional problems for Windows computers,
and, in particular, for 64-bit Windows computers, which is
what I am trying to run IDL 8 on. One of the problems
is extreme fragility, another is this memory issue.

They are trying to sort out the problem now, but there
is some thought to going back to a separated workbench/process
arrangement for Windows computers. All of this is still
to be determined, but the folks at ITTVIS understand that
the current arrangement is not ideal.

Cheers,

David
