Somehow the adverb VERSION has been filled with something bad.
Type in aips

version = ' '

and try again.  Check that the other adverbs are not messed up.  If
they seem to be, do a restore 0 and be sure to EXIT or KLEENEX rather
than just crash out of aips.  (Your lASTEXIT save/get file may have
the bad value in it.)
