//   1) Zero scan rate pairs, 1997/02/28 to 1998/01/07
//
//      These occur because the position timestamp for the first integration
//      of the pair is erroneous; the value recorded is t/1000, where t is the
//      true value.
//        Earliest known: 97-02-28_1725_132653-42_258a.hpf
//          Latest known: 98-01-02_1923_095644-50_165c.hpf
//        (time range chosen to encompass observing runs).
//
//   2) Slow-fast scan rate pairs (0.013 - 0.020 deg/s),
//        1997/03/28 to 1998/01/07.
//
//      The UTC position timestamp is 1.0s later than it should be (never
//      earlier), almost certainly arising from an error in the telescope
//      control system.
//        Earliest known: 97-03-28_0150_010420-74_008d.hpf

//        (time range chosen to encompass observing runs).
//
//   3) Slow-fast scan rate pairs (0.015 - 0.018 deg/s),
//        1999/05/20 to 2001/07/12 (HIPASS and ZOA),

//
//      Caused by the Linux signalling NaN problem.  IEEE "signalling" NaNs
//      are silently transformed to "quiet" NaNs during assignment by setting
//      bit 22.  This affected RPFITS because of its use of VAX-format
//      floating-point numbers which, with their permuted bytes, may sometimes
//      appear as signalling NaNs.
//
//      The problem arose when the linux correlator came online and was
//      fixed with a workaround to the RPFITS library (repeated episodes
//      are probably due to use of an older version of the library).  It
//      should not have affected the data significantly because of the
//      low relative error, which ranges from 0.0000038 to 0.0000076, but
//      it is important for the computation of scan rates which requires
//      taking the difference of two large UTC timestamps, one or other
//      of which will have 0.5s added to it.
//
// The return value identifies which, if any, of these problems was repaired.
