I am sorry but with only this information, I cannot possibly suggest
what is happening.  Perhaps, for some reason the 7th IF is flagged or
EIF is set  when you run POSSM or ???.  SNPLT and POSSM are not the
best way to examine data when there are problems.  PRTUV allows you to
look at the data with no affect from flagging and calibration; UVPRT
turns on (optionally) the flagging and calibration.  These are better
diagnostic tools.

I guess I should ask what compiler version was used to build aips.
There are GNU versions now in use that do not compile aips correctly.
