bug in CONTOUR [message #4416]

I've discovered a bug in CONTOUR which occurs when you try to use
keywords C_LABEL and DOWNHILL at the same time. The bug has the
unfortunate side effect of corrupting your IDL session. So far it looks
like the bug is independent of platform -- it occurs on either our
DECSTATION or ALPHA workstations. Has anybody else ran across this
one? Does anyone know if its fixed in version 4.0?

Here is the session log: [IDL. Version 3.6 (ultrix mipsel)]
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

IDL> lev=indgen(14) & c_label=replicate(0,14)

IDL> contour,dist(20),levels=lev,/down ; works fine

IDL> contour,dist(20),levels=lev,c_label=c_label ; works fine

IDL> contour,dist(20),levels=lev,/down,c_label=c_label ; bombs out
% Array has a corrupted descriptor: <No name>. ; IDL dumps core
% Execution halted at $MAIN$ (CONTOUR). ; if you try to
; do more work
