As of JD 224 2004, a software change at the Bahrain monitor station changed
the ordering of the header information in the Rinex Observation files
written to our archive.

The file is still 'legal' Rinex v2.1, but the automatic script we run to
make the CDDIS changes leaves 2 "MARKER NUMBER" fields in the Rinex
Observation file header.  TEQC doesn't flag this as an error and just gives
a notice that "the MARKER NUMBER has changed", so your processes likely pass
the file, but, as the second MARKER NUMBER is the wrong one, you may have on
file slightly incorrect Rinex files.

Accordingly, we have re-created corrected Rinex Observation files back to
JD224 2004 and uploaded them to the CDDIS website.  

The files were replaced in the CDDIS GPS archive on August 24, 2004.
