[daip] FILLM failure

[Michael Rupen]

Hello Daip,

  in accordance with Jim's directive that we tell daip about FILLM failures,
here's the latest.  I started on-line FILLM on verdi on Saturday morning
18jan03 around 7am; it's still running as I type, on the morning of the
next day, having found no data.  However, the experiment ran happily around
1:30-3:00pm or so on Saturday.  I ran on-line FILLM with the identical
inputs for a run in the same monitoring program on the 16th, and the data
came in perfectly.  I append the inputs to FILLM below, along with the
initial output and a sampling of the "Fetching...." lines in case that's 
helpful.

  Cheers,

      Michael
