The problems I'm running into might be slightly different. Here's all I can say:
1) they are random in time. Sometimes my session lasts for an hour, sometimes 5 minutes.
2) sometimes the IDE remains responsive in that I can click the menu buttons, for example 'compile', and the "IDL> .compile -v 'name'" line shows up in the console, but the compiler doesn't actually do anything. The editor does not take input, and no other commands execute in the console
3) they don't seem to be related to execution of a specific piece of code. Sometimes the session hangs just when editing, sometimes it hangs when I try to run a program, sometimes it hangs when a file dialog or some other GUI interface is being used.
I'm not sure if the debugger could be implicated somehow, but I've also noticed oddities with the debugging mode breakpoints. Often these seem to jump around or get duplicated while editing code and compiling.
It could also be an issue with the Dell Precision workstations that we use. I have had strange network-related problems in the past with LabView that only seem to occur on certain Dell machines. Its worth noting, though, that IDL is the only program on my current workstations that is giving me any kind of trouble.
I think I'll try pulling out software piece by piece and reinstalling to see if that helps.

This is fine, the problem is (at least for me) that once the IDE does freeze even if you close the blocking dialog its too late once the workspace hangs thats it. Closing the dialog now will not stop the IDE hanging. You have to launch the task manager and kill the IDE then reopen it possibly loosing unsaved work. This is why I consider it a bug, not so much the hanging but the fact it doent recover.
