BUG:	IRAF 2.9 rfits was not reading fits files with short last logical
	records correctly, i.e. records not correctly padded out to 2880
	bytes. For each output image line contained or partially contained
	in the final short record, an error message was generated,
	and incorrect data was written to the output image.

STATUS:	The bug has been fixed in 2.10 and was not a problem in IRAF 2.8
	and earlier. The workaround is to use Unix dd command or the IRAF
	reblock task to reformat the file.
