Bug in Database software.

[Chris Albertson <chris@topdog.pas1.logicon.com>]

I found a few bugs in the version of "merge" that a I posted.


Result is that tables get populated and files are read but
results are invalid in many cases.

I found one dumb error.  There are likely more as this does
not explain all the invalid result.

1) (in catalog.c) I am working in RA and DEC in units of mas 
   (milliacrseconds) and storing in four byte integers. I am
   trying to do math and getting overflows and wrap arounds.
   (a^2 + b^2 != c^2 if mas is stored in int4)
   I need to convert to 64bit floats for internal computations.
   I like finding dumb errors.  They are easy to fix.

I've had the flu the last few days and beed unable to 
focus on a CRT screen for more then 20min at a time.
Should get this fixed in the next few days.

I am interrrested in bug reports.  Nothing gets fixed that is
not first reported.
