Grinder - Odisp seg fault issue

Here is the issue. On one system -- no problems. On the other, the first time I set up a directory, run mkiraf, and then use odisp everything is OK, but thereafter I get a segment violation when I run odisp.

A day of unpleasant trial and error led to the following discovery. If I delete the file uparm/tbthen.fits, everything will work again. The file gets left behind every time though.

The "fix" if you want to call it that, is to add the following line to loginuser.cl 

delete uparm$tbthen.fits
It would be nice to make this conditional on the existence of the file, but my CL expertise is non-existant and who knows, maybe it will just make a little noise and keep on trucking. Why is this only required on one system? Who knows.
Have any comments? Questions? Drop me a line!
