[daip] more information on LISTR error

[Larry Maddox]

hello,

when i encountered the LISTR error message, i was running on a SUL
architecture.  using the same data set, things worked smoothly on a LINUX
system

i did try to load some older (1990-1992) VLA archived data onto the linux
system using FILLM and received the following errors:

this is more information than i receive (LINUX) than when i try the same
task on the SUL system:
