Hi there. I'm trying to run CALIB on a dataset and am getting an error that I've never seen before. The following is reported:

CALIB3: Task CALIB  (release of 31DEC12) begins
CALIB3: Using GROTHN3 . SPLAT . 2  Disk= 1 Usid= 4003

CALIB3: pc016987 31DEC12 TST: Cpu=     15.6  Real=     68  IO=      4861

I have various other datafiles that have been processed exactly the same way and they don't show this error. Do you know what might be causing it?

In case it's stupid inputs on my part:
