Early in the night IRAF had problems reading FITS files, after
restarting it was OK.  Later on, Prospero lost contact with
the IC computer and would not complete startup successfully.
We had to reboot the IC computer and follow a sequence of
commands given to us over the phone by Bob, at which point
everything worked for the remainder of the night.
