IDL 5.4 Stability

[davidf(at)dfanning.com (David Fanning)]

Hi Folks,

Has anyone had any problems with IDL 5.4 stability? I've
managed to completely crash it three times in the past
couple of weeks. It's odd, because I don't recall
IDL 5.3.1 *ever* crashing on my Windows NT machine in
all the times I've used it. 

Twice I was doing something stupid, I'm sure. But
once it crashed running one of my programs on my
web page. (This was just before a lecture, so I didn't
follow up and now I can't even remember what program
I was running. I switched to IDL 5.3.1 for the lecture.)

I'm just curious if others have experienced something
similar.

Cheers,

David

P.S. Please, I am *NOT* trying to start a flame war
here. I'm just beginning to think I may have installed
something incorrectly. At this point, I'm more inclined
to think this is my problem (or, more likely, a Windows 
problem) rather than IDL's. :-)
