Hi, two things:

(1) *PLEASE* submit a real bug report following the
suggestions in the BUGS file in the PDL distribution
including the requested 'perldl -V' output and a short,
specific way to reproduce the problem along with
generated output and what should have happened.
Without real reports there is no way to track the
status of PDL performance or to determine what to fix.

(2) There is a similar problem with TriD windows being
closed by hand which results in perldl dying the next
plot attempt.

To work around the problem of losing my interactive
work which I use as the starting point for program
development, I added the following to my perldl work:

* Edited the perldl script to change the number of
lines saved in history from 50 to 250

* Added a periodic flush of the history every 10 perldl
commands so when a crash occurs I don't lose lots of
typing that has to be reproduced by hand.  In the .perldlrc:

  push @PERLDL::AUTO, 'flhist() unless ($perldl_hist_flush++ % 10);';

where the flhist() command is just a cut and paste of the
existing function in the perldl program which I've attached
below.
