I have about 20 std files, one has the extension .vcf, the rest .vcf_nn, all 
with a modification date 26/12/2007. There is also one named 
std.vcfcMzGQa.new dated 17/12/2007

I deleted std.vcf and renamed std.vcf_1 to std.vcf but still got the same 
error. Should I delete all the .vcf_nn files as well, and rename 
std.vcfcMzGQa.new to std.vcf?
