[Isocops] Build problem

[Geoffrey B. Crew]

This is a good example (Roland) of why putting temporary files in /tmp
is a bad idea.

svn wasn't informed about createDFluxvsLatNorm.pro, but that actually
isn't a problem (yet).

If you look at the log file, you'll find:

  FAIL: try_skymap.sh
  ...
  Leaving directory `/usr/local/ibex/sw/build-3.3/isoc/infra/idl/test'

for the devel environment, and similarly for the gbc environment.

I'll comment as an aside that the nightly I have running on my home
machine had no trouble at all.  That is a useful, but not essential hint.

It's reproducible:

  $ cd /home/gbc/IBEX/sw/build-3.3/isoc/infra/idl/test
  $ make check TESTS=try_skymap.sh
  ...
  FAIL: try_skymap.sh
  ==================================
  1 of 1 tests failed
  Please report to gbc at space.mit.edu
  ==================================

  $ ls -ltr
  ... (lots of 3am files) ...
  -rw-rw---- 1 gbc isoc   6323 Jun  2 09:31 sky-sample-flat.png
  -rw-rw-r-- 1 gbc isoc    530 Jun  2 09:31 sky-sample-flat.geom.errs
  -rw-rw---- 1 gbc isoc  15395 Jun  2 09:31 sky-sample-orig.png
  -rw-rw---- 1 gbc isoc   1207 Jun  2 09:31 sky-sample.errs

Looking at the last one:

  ...
  % OPENW: Error opening file. Unit: 101, File: /tmp/IDLsuxReallyBadly
    Permission denied
  $ l /tmp/IDLsuxReallyBadly
  -rw-rw---- 1 jacob707 jacob707 1295 Jun  1 18:20 /tmp/IDLsuxReallyBadly

So removing the file will solve this problem.

A grep in the source directory (the parent of the test directory) suggests
that Jacob must have done a ^C (or IDL died of its own accord) between:

  openw,lun,'/tmp/IDLsuxReallyBadly',/get
  ...
  file_delete,'/tmp/IDLsuxReallyBadly'

Someone IDL knowledgeable could fix this code so the temp file has the
PID in the name.  (I.e. time to fix this sloppy code.)
