      This is serious - it means that 5 antennas of 26 had the bit
indicating that the data are or are not scaled by system temperature
set oppositely from the other 21.  Were there two subarrays during
your observing?  (FILLM may not be smart enough to avoid testing
multiple subarrays as if they were one???)

This is "normal" - it means antennas 12 was dead at this time but not
marked as dead by the usual flags.  The gain exponent is a power of
two recorded with the data and FILLM refuses to use absurd gains (e.g.
2**(-118)).
