[Babase] repstats Q for Karl

Hi Karl,

We have a lady in Repstats (LADHA) who remains in a pregnant state for 
up to 394 days (dins) in 2007 & 2008.  She gave birth on 28 May 2007 but 
continues to show up as "P" in the repstats table after this date.  The 
birth occurred on day 179 and somewhere I recall that we have a rule 
that includes a 180 day gestation period.  Of course this sounds nuts 
because obviously we have stillbirths and aborts before 180 days.

Do you have any guesses why she might remain in this state so long?  Why 
didn't the birth trigger a change in state in repstats?  I checked the 
documentation but I can't find the infosurrounding the triggers for 
change in state.

Thanks
Tabby
