Subject: VPLOT got segv
Date: Tue, 20 Jun 2000 14:06:54 +0200

Hi Eric,

Running VPLOT with selecting the calibrator source it crashed  with 
PC010 > VPLOT1: Task VPLOT  (release of 31DEC99) begins
PC010 > VPLOT1: Averaging from channel    1-  16
PC010 > VPLOT1: Averaging from IF    1-   4
PC010 > VPLOT1: ZABORS: signal 11 received
PC010 > VPLOT1: ABORT!
I was puzzled as it did not crash when I did NOT select a source. Finally I
realized that I had XINC set to 10. When I set it to 1 it worked. I guess that
with XINC=10 all the data was skipped and the fact that there was nothing left
to be plotted crashed VPLOT.
