Big Data File

It would appear that as the data set gets larger and larger that my
program for collecting all the measurements of a star together fails. 
This results in more partial stars, which probably reduces the chance of
detecting a variable.

I have now activated a second pass program that attempts to collect all
the partial stars together.  A first pass at some test data indicated a
5/1 reduction of the number of stars groupings found.  So the big list of
stars that I just put up probably has lots of repeats.  This does not make
the data bad, it just makes it harder to find anything.

I have started a run on the big data set and is should finish in about 24
hours.
