    keyword=file splitting enabled

    Four runs (1174, 1186, 1187, 1189) reached the filesize limit of MSS
    which is = (2^31)-1 bytes, and then stopped. I have just now enabled
    "filesplitting" which means the files will reach a size just short of this limit,
    and then a new file will open. The first file will be gdh_run.dat.0 as usual,
    then subsequent files .dat.1, .dat.2, ...

    The implication so far: The runs that reached this limit were truncated.
    No data was recorded after the limit. It looks like at least one has made
    it into MSS so far (1174), so I have to find out if this is ok or I need to
    split by hand, which was necessary in the past. Some experiments avoid filesplit
    but there is no good technical reason why.

    I told the experimenters to re-configure CODA for R-arm. Note, the L-arm
    already has filesplitting enabled.
