    I have looked at the code - it sets source iD = 0 when SOLINT < 0
which means to average all sources together.  It does not do this when
SOLINT=0.  The source number in that case could be zero I suppose when
the file is single source or otherwise has trouble with the source
table.

This I find most peculiar and suggest you check the other adverbs.
The source number in the table is tested and, if zero, the usual test
on matching source numbers with those requested is skipped.  The
qualifier does not get recordewd in the BP table and is ignored by
POSSM in the BP section.  The FREQID is all that matters here and so
FREQID=1 should produce the same plots no matter what QUAL is set to.
