Given all the other problems with 4.0 reported here, this is probably
not yet an ideal solution ($ included), but this problem does _not_ occur
in IDL 4.0 on either OpenVMS VAX 6.1 or OpenVMS AXP 6.1.
For what it's worth,

The error ( x = STRARR(2, 127) & print, x(0,*) ) is reproducible. I logged
in to the Alpha via DECNET over Ethernet.
Alpha config: OpenVMS AXP V6.1, IDL V3.6
VAX 3100 config: VMS V5.3, IDL V3.5.1

I just tried the following:
- Log in to VAX 3100 (VAX/VMS V5.5-2),
- SET HOST to Alpha (OpenVMS V6.1)
- Run IDL 3.6.1a
- Executed the commands you gave.
There was no problem. Is your problem reproducible? You say you logged in
remotely to your Alpha from your VAX. How? Using DECNET over Ethernet, over a
serial line, etc.?
