BUG:	The 'fixpix' option suffers from a bug in the system mask code
	which can cause large segments of the image to be marked and/or
	interpolated as bad.  This happens when there are bad pixels near
	the right edge of the mask.  There is no workaround other than
	not using the fixpix option or making masks with the bleed trail
	and saturation options.  In recent versions this bug has been fixed
	in RedHat systems (using the distributed binaries) but not on
	Solaris.

STATUS:	The system bug has been fixed for the next IRAF patch release.
	It is also fixed in the June, 2003 version of the ssun binaries
	for mscred.
