[daip] Strange TACOP error

[Shami Chatterjee]

Hi: I got a strange error message from TACOP. Not too difficult to work
around, but it probably points to something else going on... you might
be interested in the bug (?) report.

I was trying to copy a plot file from PL 2 to PL 5.
PL 1, 2, 3, 4 all exist.

AIPS 1: TACOP     task to copy tables

but TACOP requested 1.3 Terabytes?? (for a simple POSSM plot)

I'm working around this by zapping all the PL files and generating them in
the order I want, so it's not a big deal right now -- but it might point
to something else going on.

Thanks,
