BUG:	When using IMEXTENSIONS to expand a file with many extensions and
	including a image section or image kernel specification it is
	possible to overrun a string resulting in either a system error or
	an incomplete output list.  Each '[', ',', '*' character
	contributes to the possiblity of overrunning the string.  The
	maximum number of extensions that can be expanded without problem
	depends on the specific 'input' list.  The workarounds are to avoid
	using image sections and image kernal specifications for large
	lists or to expand the list in pieces using the 'index' parameter.

STATUS:	To be fixed in a future release.
