[evlatests] VLA archive oddities

Hello folks,
the modcomp-free data appears rather oddly in the VLA archive.
* AL693 from June 28, a continuous single-subarray run of 8 hours not
crossing IAT midnight, shows up as two overlapping files.
- Loading these two data sets into AIPS, the data from the overlapping
time range seems to be the same. One obvious oddity is that there is
a change in frequency (and consequently FQID) at the time the second data
set starts. There are however 0 visibilities with this "odd" FQID.
* AB1248 shows up with the wrong project code (AL0124), consistent
with the naming problems others have mentioned. NOTE however that
messing up the project codes for "real" data is much more serious than
doing so for test runs:
- The observer will not be able to find his/her data simply by checking
the project code reported in the log he/she receives.
- The password will be different for different names.
- In particularly nasty cases the mis-modified project code may actually
overlap with an existing one.
* The configuration (should be "A") is set to "?"
TTFN,
Michael
