[daip] more IMAGR problems

I've encountered another failure with IMAGR (messages appended below). I
had it running overnight with autoboxing and filtering turned on, plus a
flux limit set.
It got through 161 channels successfully, none of which had detectable
emission in them. It then choked on channel 162, the first channel with
emission present. The emission is fairly weak, but strong enough
that it should exceed the boxing threshold.
I did a couple of experiments. Setting FLUX=0 and turning off filtering
had no effect. But when I turned autoboxing off, and the failure no longer
occurs. With autoboxing on, I found that if I try to clean only one
channel, failures occur in the earlier channels of the cube where there
was no previous problem. Tweaking the IM2PARM parameters seemed to have no
effect.
