There is nothing like an "engineering" run to sort out this sort of 
thing.  I have  such a run well under way.  When it is completed, there 
will be about 40,000 images, 200,000 stars, and 200 measurements of each 
star in each filter.  I say we should start now stuffing this data through 
the pipe.  This should turn up most of the problems.  This is about 1% of 
the size of the final run.
