In the code I posted line 22 the "dloop" could be entered and would never exit 
if "fd" was greater than "ld". The error's been in our database since 2003 or 
so, based upon seeing it printed wrong in our paper catalog as well as @ud 
timestamp.

Just sloppy programing on my part.

Whats the capacity for export buffers anyway. I've had different reports that 
would run fine on SCO filepro 4.05.09 and pop errors like this or segmentation 
violations under freeBSD filepro 5.0.14
