The one with the high seq number should not have been in the task in any 
way.  It is true that the 12 char name and 6 char class are the same as 
the output one, but not the seq number.

On another point:

BDFIn appears to be filling in 16 characters of task name in the table 
headers - AIPS can tolerate 12 actually but buffer(42) is NREC - the 
number of records to expand the file.  When it says 538976288 = '    ' 
(??) it takes a very long time to do the expansion!  I guess I had 
better make TABINI smarter although that means relinking all of AIPS.
