Mystery record?

[Janet Thorp]

Hello all,
I have done all the suggested tests and there are no abnormalities to be
found anywhere.  I'm leaning toward it being a TPI problem... I'm not
familiar with using TPI's (Superdex) but it would seem to me that perhaps
there is some corruption in the Superdex "control block" or pointers or
whatever.  Am hoping that rebuilding this "control block" (or pointers or
whatever :) will cure this enigma.  What do yall think????
TIA again!
