      We have had numerous reports of problems with AIPS compiled with
3.3.3 and 3.3.4 although they were not with 64-bit implementations.
We have found no problems with 3.4.4.

Actually no - this is a compiler error causing itself to blow up.
Unless you do astrometry with the Haystack software, you do not need
this task.  Edit the file $TST/$ARCH/INSTALL/APGNOT.LIS to put a minus
(-) sign in column 1 ahead of the CL2HF reference.  This will allow
INSTEP4 to continue ignoring this problem.

But you might want to start over with a more reliable compiler.
