The malloc failure for BPASS is gone (thanks) but now I am struggling with the fact that no matter what i do I seem to have
a mystery end channel that gets a huge number thrown in for the BPASS solutions. I tried flagging and uvcop to get rid of this but no matter how I cut my data the last channel always has high values. Example below. This is still on Hamal, and user 1014, disk 1 
file 3 or 4 (VLITE data) or HAMAL user 1013, disk 1, file 14 (WIDAR data). 

VLITE example:

hamal > BPASS1:   284        2.93      3.96          1.24       1.65         0
hamal > BPASS1:   285        3.05      3.90          1.37       1.87         0
hamal > BPASS1:   286        2.32      3.12          1.35       1.78         0
hamal > BPASS1:   287        2.88      3.86          1.46       1.88         0
hamal > BPASS1:   289     2670.65   6504.54         89.64     113.05         0
hamal > BPASS1: BASOLV:   14 flagged channels in IF  1
hamal > BPASS1: BASOLV: will attempt to interpolate across band
hamal > BPASS1: Closure error statistics: IF  1 correlator  2
hamal > BPASS1: Channel   Mean amp &  amp**2    Mean phase & phase**2    Excess
hamal > BPASS1:     1        3.90      5.14          1.95       3.10         0
hamal > BPASS1:     3        4.29      5.43          1.89       2.85         0
hamal > BPASS1:     4        4.38      5.54          2.16       3.11         0
hamal > BPASS1:     5        4.48      5.52          2.14       3.14         0
hamal > BPASS1:     6        4.99      6.58          2.40       3.53         0
