[teqc] Ashtech: missing PBEN record

Dear Reiner,

SNAV and SALM are the navigation and almanac messages, which
don't matter for this discussion.

Data epochs require one or more MBEN record followed by a
single PBEN, and there is one MBEN for each SV being tracked.
Basically some condition is being reached where teqc thinks
the current epoch has switched to the next epoch without finding
the terminating PBEN for the current epoch.  What exactly
condition is reached is hard to guess.

hope this helps,
