[daip] Limited number of visibilities in AIPS ?

[Arnaud Collioud]

Dear AIPS gurus,

I am wondering if there is a maximum number of visibilities for one AIPS UV file?

I am asking this because I am trying to put into AIPS the astrometric super-session which took place the 18 Nov 2009 for the International Year of Astronomy (IYA09). 35 stations observed during this 24-hour session, which means a lot of data.
I got the following error when the file reached 5999454 visibilities... Is this just a coincidence or is 6 million the maximum ?

   1    8   08-JUN-2011  12:52:18     MK4IN     ZABORS: signal 11 received
   1    8   08-JUN-2011  12:52:18     MK4IN     ABORT!

Best wishes,
Arnaud

PS: I am using  AIPS 31DEC07
