The file was fairly big so I tried using ra in conjunction with the -t 
and -w options to produce a set of new smaller files to get the size 
down and find the dataset that was the problem.  I was able to get a 
reasonable size dataset that failed when running ramon against it (the 
others seemed to work), but running ranonymize against this dataset made 
the error disappear.  I'm willing to share the file and I've gotten it 
down to about 1 meg just let me know how to get it to you.  I also 
wouldn't mind knowing what to do via gdb to hunt the error down.

Thanks, Desmond.
