When specifying DISTRIBUTION=BINOMIAL or DISTRIBUTION=POISSON,
one or both of the following ERROR messages may be produced:

   ERROR: Unable to read data from utility file
or
   ERROR: Read Access Violation in task (RELIABILITY)

Any results produced by PROC RELIABILITY are correct and it is possible
with smaller datasets for PROC RELIABILITY to provide complete results
typically accompanied by only the unable to read data from utility file
error. The problem, when it occurs, disrupts the reading of a utility 
file and may cause PROC RELIABILITY to produce incomplete or no results 
especially with larger datasets.
