What version of str_sep.pro are you using? I cannot replicate your problem
with either the version (1.1) which comes with IDL 3.6 or the version (1.3)
which comes with IDL 4.0.1. My suspicion is that you're using some
non-standard version of str_sep.pro. I would certainly consider the behavior
you describe as a serious bug.
