    The vax was trying to extract a bit out of status that was out of range,
 and generated an instruction fault.
 
    The problem is in the definition of STA_FMT, specifically:
 b\xcCLOCKERR\0\
 
    The \xcC was being converted to 0xcc as the bit position, and leaving 
 LOCKERR as the text string.
