[daip] Problem with IMAGR in AIPS

Greetings.  
I'm a summer student working using AIPS at the Naval Research Lab, and
I'm having a bit of a problem with IMAGR.  Unfortunately, our local aips
guy, Joe Lazio, is out and nobody around has any idea what is wrong.

When I try to run imagr I get an error message:

SNE   > IMAGR1: Task IMAGR  (release of 31DEC02) begins
SNE   > IMAGR1: OBPUT: BAD DIMENSION ARRAY
SNE   > IMAGR1: KEYWORD =BCOMP
SNE   > IMAGR1: OBPUT: PROBLEM WITH OBJECT: CLEAN process object
SNE   > IMAGR1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes
SNE   > IMAGR1: sne          31DEC02 TST: Cpu=       0.1  Real=       0

I tried running it on different split files that I previously was able
to image, and it did not work either.  However, it is only this one
computer with the problem.  All the other computers that are run off the
same central aips work fine.  We have tried doing a RESTORE 0, as well
as restarting aips and logging off and on again.  We also restarted the
computer to no avail.

Appended is the set of inputs I used for my IMAGR (hopefully it will be
readable), althogh MX works perfectly with the same set of inputs on the
same file.

Do you have any idea what is wrong, or what I can do to fix the problem?

Thanks.

Chris Williams
