[daip] GETJY problem

Problem with NaN output from the GETJY task.

We are running AIPS 15OCT99 under Sun Solaris (2.6 and 7) compiled locally
for the SOL and SUL architectures. We have encountered a problem whilst
calibrating a continuum UV-dataset. We have successfully performed SETJY
on our 2 primary calibrators and VLACAL on these and secondary
calibrators, as per the AIPS cookbook. Subsequent running GETJY with
SOUR='secondary cals' and CALS='primary cals' produces the following
output

	GETJY1: 0923+392        :  0   A     1 NaN        +/- NaN
	GETJY1:                              2 NaN        +/- NaN
	GETJY1: Appears to have ended successfully

for each of the secondary calibrators. The same output is also obtained if
only one (either) of the primary calibrators is used for the CALS
paramater, and/or GETJY is run using a single (any) secondary calibrator.

Has this been seen elsewhere, or have we maybe missed some system parameter
setting that could produce this behaviour?   

Many thanks,
