This morning's elset file contains an elset 
Iridium 24       3.0  0.0  0.0  6.0 d            784 x 778 km
1 24905U 97043C   98067.17188619 -.00025838  00000-0 -94522-2 0  1404
2 24905  86.4019 317.4911 0004120  16.3388 343.7545 14.33229189 28634

that causes:
#24905: Iridium 24

NDP error - invalid number, INTEGER overflow, or 0/0 (See Section 5.2 in Lahey
 Programmer's Reference Manual) in CLOSEST
Called by SATPOS
Called by IRIDIUM

Sufficient cure is to change '2-2' to 2-3', but much larger BStar values
exist for the climbing Ir50-55, and this error does not occurr for other
sites I have tried.
