We only make available 2 versions for installation - now 31DEC09 and 
31DEC10.  I note that the piece of code that produces this message 
occurs in 31DEC08 FITLD so I am surprised that one does not see it in 
that version.  The format is obviously bad but it suggests that one of 
the tables in the file has a reference date (required with each table) 
more then 999 days earlier than the main reference date.

Is this a VLBA data set which I could fetch from the archive to test?
