MDM Trouble Report for 2007 Oct 27

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Eastman & Bird (OSU)
Instrument: CCDS + RetroCAM

Problem(s) Encountered:
I began the script sn900.pro which takes 3x300 second images in
gri. After the first exposure, it issued this warning and 
retrocam closed:

Object frame 1, exptime 300 seconds
   Exposure started...
   Reading out...
   Readout time: 4 seconds

FITSIO status = 105: couldn't create the named file
failed to create the following file: (ffinit)
/rsn071027.0001.fits
40.836u 69.519s 20:06:43.72 0.1%        0+0k 0+0io 51pf+0w

The exposure was lost.

We had 3 ds9 windows open; the one retrocam opens, one for iraf,
and another one. I have a feeling it has to do with the XPA
connections between them.
