Hi Matt,

You should e-mail daip at nrao.edu in case Eric is away.

I have been corresponding with someone else about this problem, we have tracked 
this down to something in BLAVG, but he isn't very responsive so that is as far 
as we got.  Could you look at your BLAVG output and tell me if it has any valid 
data in it?

Thanks,

Amy
