You did not define "new" and "old" as to the actual aips version so it
is a bit hard to answer. The 31DEC10 version has a bug fix which is
quite relevant if your vlbi data has only 1 polarization. It looks like
the "old" has not applied a correction for the first times and then
applied too large a correction for the later times.
We recommend that users use a recent version of aips. For EVLA data
that version must be 31DEC10 but for all data recent is better.
