I'm not formally with the AIPS group anymore, but they're all either on
vacation or here with me (at ADASS).

If I remember correctly, this is a sign of a bad save/get file.  As it's
user#2, you can try the following:

 1) identify which data area is "disk 1" and go there ("cd" in unix shell)
 2) type this:
               rm SGD002*

    This will remove all save/get files for user number 2.  They will be
    re-created (empty).
 3) start aips again, user#2.
