Mystery Error: TASK HAS NOT BEGUN IN 15.1 SECONDS

A question from Tony:

Has anyone start getting the following error message:

AIPS 1: TASK HAS NOT BEGUN IN 15.1 SECONDS
AIPS 1: Begin check for any 'standard' scratch files
AIPS 1: Scratch files -- destroyed: 0 still active: 0
AIPS 1: Resumes

A few people across the department have receive the same error message, and I think it is a problem related to 31DEC08.

But why 15.1 seconds?!

Wow, that is mysterious! Maybe you should write Eric Greisen and let us know what you find out?
