     32 * Propagate zero points from cam to diff.  Source lists from ppSub now have calibrated magnitudes.
     33 * Propagate FWHM from warp to diff for ppSub parameter scaling.  ppSub now doesn't have to measure the FWHM (at least for warps; not tested on stacks yet).
     34 * Diff failures:
     35  * MD06.077 failing due to bad reference stack (stack_id = 52606); fixed error code.
     36  * Every other fault=2 inspected was due to filesystem errors.
     37  * All fault=5 have dtime_script <= 3 sec, apparently due to difftool unable to find the SQL file.
     38  * Reworked all ippTools to put fault=2 (SYS_ERROR) when can't find SQL file (presumably due to NFS problems).  Removed DATA_ERROR because ippTools don't work on data (astronomical images or catalogues).  This should allow us to turn on revert for fault=2 only.
     39  * Reworked ppSub to be better about error codes and their translation to exit codes.
     40 * Add exposure comment to data store when publishing detections.
     41 * Stack failures:
     42  * "Stack list contains less than 2 elements" accounts for most of the fault=2.  Added "-min_num 4" to automate_stacks.pl and stacktool now requires min_num to be specified and >= 2.
     43  * fault=5 modes:
     44   * A bunch of failures in the relative photometry that doesn't make sense on reading the log.  They may be due to rebuilding the code mid-way and repeating.  Best to revert and retry.
     45   * dtime_script < ~ 10 are generally due to all (or most) inputs having few lit pixels.  Added "-select_good_frac_min 0.05" to automate_stacks.pl to correspond with BADFRAC in the PPSUB recipe.
     46   * Nebulous errors account for most of the rest, often reading from ipp004 from a range of machines.
     47  * Reworked ppStack to be better about error codes and their translation to exit codes.
     48  * fault=4 (PROG_ERROR) seem to be due to failure to find a PSF model, and then triggering a SEGV in ppStack; fixed SEGV.
     49 * Chasing down camera runs in ThreePi.Run5c.20100217 that didn't write all masks
     50  * 399/2655 = 15% have at least one missing mask (actually, this can be due to bad data quality at chip stage too)
     51  * Fixed camera_exp.pl to check that masks are written
     52  * Fixed warp_skycell.pl to ensure mask is available
     53  * Re-ran camera stage through pcontrol for bad runs
