Makes sense to me.  JA is before CY, Y1, and 1J.  K4 and 4J and before JA.

Calls are stored in each cell that corresponds to each two letter sequence,
except it is redundant enough that the JA cell was eliminated (since it is
always the "biggest" cell).  However, the routine that saves the calls to 
the .DTA doesn't know that, and therefore thinks it already has saved the
call.

It should be an easy fix.
