something seems to be wrong with FILLM for planets for old VLA data.

i have data from AL635 - a project which observed Vesta in 2004.

i run FILLM, with CPARM(2)=16, as i've always done in the past (though i haven't loaded old VLA data in several years).

FILLM recognizes the VESTA source:

but LISTR (and other tasks, for that matter), don't seem to see the VESTA scans:

File = TEST        .X BAND.   1 Vol = 5  Userid = 1953
Freq =  8.435100000 GHz   Ncor =  4   No. vis =    521356

...

the scan numbers are incrementing properly (skipping the VESTA scans), but it just doesn't see to know about the VESTA scans.

i've tried re-running INDXR, but no joy.

no idea what's going on here...
