I have asked Fraser about this suggestion and he feels that allowing
solmode 'P' as well as default 'A&P' should be okay. He cautions that
it is essential to examine CALIB's solutions closely (APARM(6)=4
perhaps and SNPLT) to guard against simply bad solutions - which can
come from facets without adequate flux for self-cal in that facet alone.
The MNJ tomorrow will pick up the change.
