Don't know why it's different on the Sun, but IDL thinks your
function call is an array reference (it doesn't know about the
function). Either make sure your function is defined prior to
this call, or use FORWARD_FUNCTION <FUNC_NAME> to declare the
function.

Are you using the latest version of IDL. I've seen this error before,
intermittently, and it has improved by upgrading to IDL 5.0.3.
