The task insists on doing a full translation of the name and then stuck 
the result in a character*80.  Then it passed the full string to a place 
that allows only 48 - would have been fine had the string been your 
original adverb value.  I have changed it to use the original adverb 
value in the TAPIO open call - this should work.  I have also enlarged 
the space for the translated name to 256 which AIPS does use where fully 
translated names are expected.
