I am not sure I understand what the task was doing since it seemed to
get the right answer to x,y = 145,77 and then to be offset by BLC(1)
for the rest of the image. I did find two places where the BLC(1)
correction was not made. I also found that it would set the peak pixel
to 1.0 when the entire row was zero. I changed that to have it take the
blanked value instead. It now seems to do the same on a SUBIM of the
images or on a BLC,TRC in AFARS.
A MNJ now in 31DEC12 will fix it.
