Indeed, the patch fixes a problem dating back to 1995 and three IDL
versions ago ( 4.0.1a, 4.0.1b, 4.0.1c).

ftp://gateway.rsinc.com/pub/idl_4.0.1/updates/map_fix/map_fi x.tar.Z

Shouldn't this have been included in the latest CDROM releases?
The "help yourself to the patch when you stumble on this problem"
approach is not what I had in mind when paying the IDL support
fees This should be included in all CDROM distributions of IDL.

I noticed another problem though using map_continents. Try
filling the continents using this.

map_set,0,180,limit=[-20,-280,55,-100],/cont
map_continents,/fill

This doesn't work. Australia and other Pacific countries get filled
in but then parts of the northeast Pacific Ocean get filled in too.
Neat. Sun Solaris 2.5 with IDL 4.0.1c

Does anyone else get the same output?

And RSI charges us outragous support fees every year....
