I have been unable to create a testcase that generates this even
slightly often.  However, I do know that in this specific instance, I
used the data wizard to view 3 dirfile fields as both curves and psds
using all standard settings (other than switching the radio selector
from curves only to psds and curves).  The dirfile was static (no live
data).
