I wish I had paid more attention to this baffling one at the time.

It is now solved.  The array inside INDXR for generating the CL table 
had 8 bands, whilst the low level routines knew about all 10 in the new 
way of counting.  So Q band data went in P band locations with the 
constant part (~1) ending up in the 1st derivative (*ZN) of P.  It also 
messed up Q and KA due to this error.  FILLM was correct but not INDXR.
