I may have found a bug in CALIB (although it could only
be a problem with the help file).  I am running CALIB
on one source in a multisource data set.  I am using
a clean component model but CALIB "scales" the model to
the flux in the SU table (which is 0).  In the help
file it says that that is only done if IN2NAME='' or
IN2CLASS='', neither which are true.  Below are my
inputs and messages.
