Hi David,
Thanks a lot for your efforts to help me out! To me it is really
strange that such apparently trivial problem cannot being resolved
properly in IDL.

I reported the problem. Though I can imagine you are in closer contact
with those magic software designers. If there are any advances on this
issue, please let us know.

Greetzz,
Joe
