I know what the problem is, I think.  Notice the output:

> AIPS 1: OUTFILE    'snmaps:wrbub.feb95.ps                           '
  :
> LWPLA1: ZTXOP2: using translated file name =

> LWPLA1: ZLWIO: FORTRAN OPEN ERROR =    128 FOR PLOTTER FILE =
> LWPLA1: /export/home/beset/amy/supernovae/hydra_results/

That's exactly 48 characters.  And in LWPLA:

C      OUTFILE R(12)  Named file for Postscript output.

12 * 4 = ... LWPLA can't handle expanded names longer than 48.  ZTXOP2 can
merrily take 128-long filenames, however.

Looks like it might be a simple fix, but I haven't dug deeper than this
surface "grep".
