[daip] SPLIT problem

[Andreas Brunthaler]

Dear Eric,

we found a problem with SPLIT in AIPS. The dataset is a VLBA calibrator 
search, i.e. short scans on ~40 sources of which only a few are 
detected. We use our script that we have used a few years ago for our 
calibrator search for the BeSSeL survey. The calibration still works as 
before, but we noticed something odd when we split the data. We use

sources = ''

in SPLIT, to get single source data for all our detected sources (the 
non-detections don't get a single source file, because there is no valid 
data). This worked fine in the past. However, if we run SPLIT on the 
calibrated dataset now, it stops for some reason after 7 sources (3 
detections and 4 non-detections). If I run split on the uncalibrated 
(and unflagged) raw data, SPLIT works as before and I get single source 
files for each source. Is there a feature now that SPLIT stops after 4 
sources with no data?

The calibrated data set can be found here:
