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.
