[Babase] Psion - Focal as own nearest neighbor?

Hi all,

I'm tackling some BaBase corrections/issues and found one to pass on to 
the list.  Sorry if we've already talked about this . . .

It looks like there are some records in the Psion related tables 
(Samples, Fpsamps, Fpneighbors, etc.) that list the sname of the focal 
animal as its own nearest neighbor.  This shouldn't be allowed, right?

One example is the Psion record for VOT on 22 January 2002 (sid = 2609). 
  She has 10 minutes in sight for this sample - the last four of these 
records show VOT as her own nearest neighbor.  For example,

<PNT> 0201220748VOT, 07:55:52, R2OS, VOT, VOT, XXX

Am I interpretating that correctly?  Maybe I just haven't used Psion 
enough to understand the txt files.
