[daip] USUBA problem.

USUBA (opty=SCAN) seems to find un-necessary subarray conditions.

The attached test-file, whichs contains autocorrelation data only from
only one antenna - and can therefore not (I think) contain a real
subarray condition. However, if I run USUBA, it wants to make
subarrays.

(The test file is part of a larger VLBI data set, in which there
shouldn't be any subarraying.  I just want to make sure there wasn't
any inadvertant subarraying as sometimes happens in VLBI, before
further processing).

Should I just ignore USUBA and proceed?

        thanks,    michael b

USUBA wants to start a second subarray here

USUBA1: Source:    J0209+6437           Freq. id:   1
USUBA1: Sub:    1  Start:  0 12  2 15.6777  End:  0 12  3 25.0203
USUBA1: Ant:  1
USUBA1: Source:    3C58PSR              Freq. id:   1
USUBA1: Sub:    2  Start:  0 12  3 25.0152  End:  0 12  6  4.7942
USUBA1: Ant:  1

PRTUV has this to say about that bit
