No, I am not doing anything unusual. A simple example:

Start IDL then execute:

map_set,/continents
xpalette

Then moving one of the red,green,blue sliders in the xpalette
widget produces hundreds of the following messages:

% OPLOT: Value of Latitude is out of allowed range.
% OPLOT: Value of Latitude is out of allowed range.
% OPLOT: Value of Latitude is out of allowed range.
% OPLOT: Value of Latitude is out of allowed range.
.....

I am using IDL 5.2 on an SGI workstation running IRIX 6.5 but I 
saw this also on a SUN.
Any suggestions what causes this problem?

Dominik
