There is definitely a problem with 5-23 IF A right now.
I have not examined many baselines, but 1-23 and 1-5 both
look normal. It is likely a sampler problem, but I can't
explain why other baselines to antenna 5 are not affected.
Looking at 'rawish' data from the correlator it looks like
5Acos*5Acos is sometimes not very stable. Let's replace
the sampler and see what happens.
