BUG: The tasks will shorten root input image names to six characters by
using the first five and last characters. Depending on the style
of image names this can result in name conflicts. The reason for
this shortening is no longer known so it is now considered a bug.
Workarounds are to be aware of this and rename image names to avoid
conflicts.
STATUS: This is fixed in the next release. The fix is to modify the file
$iraf/noao/imred/src/fibers/proc.cl as shown (replace lines 125 to
129 with "extn = extn // ".ms"). If you don't have permission
to make this change then copy the file to your iraf "home$"
directory, edit it, load the desired package, and then override
the definition of the file with "redefine proc = home$proc.cl".
