    A RESTORE 0 should fix that almost certainly.

Since I wrote I have done the basic work to make aips more compliant
on 64-bit machines.  All of our dynamic memory stuff works on a 64-bit
Dell Xeon.  That system has the nasty habit of malloc'ing extra memory
at the highest possible addresses - in other words as far away as
possible from the basic program in virtual memory anyway.  The only
aips task that may fail is FRING - for the largest fringe fits it
attempts to extend the pseudo-AP with dynamic memory.  The pseudo-AP
code does not now use LONGINTs for its pointers - there would be many
mnay thousands of variables to change to allow this.  Someday I may do
it but not soon...
