msctpeak still causing me problems! Deadline approaches…

Has anyone else seen the temp file failure I wrote about on Feb 4 with a new IRAF install?
mscfinder> msctpeak spw0143.fits usnoextract ast.db
ERROR: Table `/tmp/iraf5661j' does not exist or cannot be opened.
"goodcolor=goodcolor, badcolor=badcolor)"
line 172: mscfinder$msctpeak.cl
called as: `msctpeak (images=spw0143.fits, coordinates=usnoextract, database=ast.db)'
mscfinder> ls /tmp/iraf5661j*
/tmp/iraf5661j.tab
So I have iraf5661j.tab but msctpeak is mad because it cannot find the file iraf5661j.

It takes care of my problem for whatever reason.

I first replied to your earlier message. Due to confusions over the master mscred version and recent updates to IRAF (partly for the tables support) the distribution files for V2.15 were redone earlier today. Again there may still be a bug but the last time I used msctpeak this week it worked fine.
