Hi,

Sorry I've been out of the PDL loop for a long time, but have an old script 
written in PDL that I use a lot. After a recent IT upgrade here we have shifted 
to PDL v2.018 and I'm getting some behaviour that is new from our previous 
install (2.4 in the old numbering system???).

The script uses some which() statements to create indexing vectors to slice the 
original pdl. Normally when the which statement comes back empty, the slice 
command returns an empty pdl itself. But if the slicing dimension (regardless 
of the total number of dimensions) of the original pdl is of length 1 bad 
things happen. Perhaps an example is clearer:

pdl> p $empty=pdl([])
Empty[0]
pdl> p $d2=pdl([1,2])
[1 2]
pdl> p $d2($empty)
Empty[0]
pdl> p $d1=pdl([1])
[1]
pdl> p $d1($empty)
Stringizing problem: slice: slice starts out of bounds in pos 0 (start is 1; 
source dim 0 runs 0 to 0). eval {...} called at

Can anyone shed any light on what's going on here??

Thanks,
