idl 6.3 bus error during tv [message #57840]

I have very recently "upgraded" from an old mac G4 (OS-X 10.3.9) to an
old hand-me-down dual mac G5 with OS-X 10.5.1 (Leopard Darwin kernel
version 9.1.0). Now the tv command causes IDL to bus error. I'm still
running the same old IDL version 6.3 and have no problems using plot
or window commands, so the DISPLAY environment appears to be set
properly. I even ran the idlbridge_demo which creates object graphics,
spawns child processes, uses widgets and it works just fine. I'm
thinking there is some kind of direct graphics gremlin with tv in IDL
version 6.3. One of my coworkers has the exact same mac hardware I do,
but she has the older IDL version 6.2 and tv works fine there.

Does anyone have any ideas regarding cause? Looks like I have to
upgrade IDL to fix this.

Below is a screen dump of my session.

Thanks,
Don
