Are you running with OVERLAP=2 and DO3D <= 0?

i see one fix in the change.doc (for 07) that might cause it to have
made 1 beam for multiple fields which would then mean it does not know
a beam for the 2nd field.  Set DO3D to true.

(Or better yet - update to 31DEC07 and run the MNJ - but you knew I
would say that.)
