This may be a manifestation of the recently reported bug in which
PDP-11 large notefiles start wrapping around when using the j command.
One of our large notefiles recently went over 600 notes so I went
to the director page, zap'ed 1-300, closed the note file, and started
a compression. After a few lines of dots, it bombed with 

	'gethrec: read <---- abort
	 autoseq: IOT trap -- core dumped'

Anyone had this happen to them or have a fix?

Ray, how's the fix for the 11 wraparound going? Can I send you a
tape for the latest source?
