Your message file has gotten messed up.  It thinks it is bigger than it 
actually is and so produces this mess.  The message file is in your 
first AIPS data area and is named
       MSDuuu000.uuu\;
where uuu is your user number in extended hex.  exit aips and then rm 
this file (only) and start up aips again.
