I have a record in MRK which validates but when converted to MRC, it
gets completely altered with new field numbers and data problems.

I'm attaching the record as badrecord.mrk which is what it looked like
before conversion to .mrc format, and also badrecord.mrc to show the
mishmash it turned into.

I noticed that if I took one character out of the leader, it would
validate and then convert  into mrc format without any problems (other
it then had bad LDR data). The altered leader record is also attached.

This was one record from a file of about 500 records from the same
ebook vendor, but this is the only one that caused me any problems.

Can anyone explain what is happening here?
