Curious - it means that the dynamic memory used by something (probably
application of the bandpass calibration) got an addressing problem 
causing it to over-write word 0 of that memory.  When it is freed at
the end of the task, you get this kind of error.

Can you show me (1) the inputs used to POSSM, (2) the output of IMHEAD 
on the data set, and (3) the messages produced in the message window by 
POSSM ahead of the abort?  Also please tell me what release of AIPS you 
are using and whether it was compiled locally or the binary version.

Note that POSSM is simply a display task and I suspect that this error
occurs after it has actually done its display.   The problem should not 
slow down your reductions although it would be nice to fix it for you.
