Hi Peter.

I've put the file in the following dir.
http://www.astro.cf.ac.uk/pub/David.Nutter/transfer/

One difference that I noticed between this file and others. When Gaia
does eventually produce a trace, it has drawn error bars at each point
of the time series. Is it the calculation and drawing of these bars
that is causing Gaia to lock up? Can these be disabled?

Cheers
Dave
