Mike:

The proper way is to improve the s2ibis2 utility or
the surrounding processes as you attempted to do.

I was able to download and read the nasef.zip file.
I can send you privately a copy if you have trouble.

More responses are in your response.

This may be a flaw in the s2ibis2 algorithms. Also, s2ibis2
never was designed to handle internal terminators.

No. The proper method is to figure out a way to partition
the currents to the proper rails.
