We have encountered this before and finally concluded that there is a 
Mac firewall that causes this when it attempts to get the 2009 
corrections file from the web.  Yes - the 2009 file might be needed 
since there are some stations from which the antenna never moves.

First - make sure that you are completely current with 31DEC08 by 
running a MNJ (script do_daily.<hostname> in your home area).  Then make 
sure the two attached files are in AIPS/TEXT/STARS.  I think it will 
then work without trying to use the internet.
