BITEARN NODES is  checked against all major  software packages, including
LISTSERV, LMail and  MX, before it is  released. It is done  once by EARN
(Hans-Ulrich Giese), and then  a second time by me to  make sure no error
slips through. So  when you get that  kind of error, you can  be 99% sure
that something is  wrong with the file  you obtained. Try to  get a fresh
copy and run the table generation again.
