keyword=Crl error corrected in F1 code

The f1s are periodically giving errors (unknown bus error). The crl routine (bb_roc5.crl) looks like:

  variable nwrds
...
      nwrds = f1ReadEvent(f1MinSlot,rol->dabufp,MAX_F1_DATA,dma_mode);
      if (nwrds>=MAX_F1_DATA) {
...
      }
      else if(nwrds<=0) {
...
}

It turns out that, when "variable" is used to declare a variable, it is compiled as an unsigned int. This means the second branch of the if never happens. Changing "variable nwrds" to "int nwrds;" fixes this.

I made this change (bb_roc5.crl.v0.3). It won't fix the errors, but at least the coda file will have the intended error codes.

The 1190 code has the same issue. I suggest changing "variable nwrds1190" to "int nwrds1190;".
