If  the  event  index  is  greater  than  64  then 
the data cannot be stored as bits - only 64 
bits are reserved for events.

FCI_E3:#7b Err. DA=%s too short. Rqd=%d, possible_md-
>data->buffer_name , offset ); 
The  MD  in  question  has  a  length  and 
offset  which  makes  it  run past  the end  of 
the  Data  Array.  Message  7b  is  printed 
when data is being stored as bits.
