[daip] CLCAL glitch

I ran CLCAL on ACCOR data and got a bunch (order 100) identical messages
of the form: 
eolus > CLCAL1: SNSMO: Smoothing SN table
eolus > CLCAL1: FUNBSM: FUNCTION GAUS TIMES  0.000E+00  0.000E+00 ERROR
eolus > CLCAL1: FUNBSM: FUNCTION GAUS TIMES  0.000E+00  0.000E+00 ERROR
eolus > CLCAL1: FUNBSM: FUNCTION GAUS TIMES  0.000E+00  0.000E+00 ERROR

The output CL table looks ok.

Here are my inputs (user 1913 on eolus):

I'm going to proceed as if this was benign, but am sending this so that
you'll know about it.   Please tell me if it turns out not to be benign.
