[daip] problem with TAFLG

[Pat Palmer]

Hi,

I have been running TAFLG following the instructions in Memo 110.

This worked to remove rows 29, 39, 69, 75, 83, 98, 164, 170, but will
not work for 178.  In each case all I changed was the row number
BCOUNT = ECOUNT = row number

But when I try 178, it reports: 
imager> TAFLG1: imager-a     31DEC07 TST: Cpu=       0.0  Real=       0
imager> TAFLG1: Task TAFLG  (release of 31DEC07) begins
imager> TAFLG1: Flagged rows    178
imager> TAFLG1: TABIO: BAD LRNO =         9 LIMIT         8
imager> TAFLG1: ERROR    2 WRITING ROW     9
imager> TAFLG1: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes

With PRTAB I can see that the first 8 rows are removed, but row 178 is
still present.  Nothing was changed between the last 3 runs that
worked and the one the did not except BCOUNT and ECOUNT.  (PRTAB shows
nothing at all unusual about row 178.)

I am stuck.
