The u.usa.XX.a.1 files were declared dead long ago.  At that time we posted
empty u.usa.XX.a files to the net to cause the old data to be tossed.
Somehow, your site must have missed these postings.  At any rate, if anyone is
still using u.usa.XX.a files for routing, you're bound to get into trouble.
At this point, you should just delete the files.  Some folks have kept these
files around because AT&T no longer publishes internal information.  That's
fine I guess - but don't use the files as input to pathalias!!!  BTW: The same
goes for u.usa.nj.b.1 (the old Bellcore File).  That is, it should no longer
be used as input to pathalias.....
