I applied that patch to beta1 and reinstalled and now the output seems
correct.  Thanks for the quick analysis and fix.

Probably a proj issue, but it would seem that using an epoch of 0 (== 1
BCE?) is well outside the domain of validity of the transform velocity
models.  But it's hard to draw the line and not really a useful
exercise.
