Hi Peter,

(Scratching head in puzzlement) As it happens, I saw that exact
same bug, on the exact same object, a couple of days ago, and
fixed it. (In the process, I revised Find_Orb so that it showed
speeds up to 100'/hour were shown as nn.nn'/hr; those up to 1000
were shown as nnn.n'/hour; those up to 10000 as nnnnn'/hr; and
those up to 10000 degrees/hr or min or sec were shown as nnnnn
degrees/hr or min or sec. Those last two really only apply if
you're standing at an impact site, of course.)

So instead of seeing that 24.6 degrees/minute, you should now
see something more like 1481'/hr.

When you click on About, does it indicate the 2009 Mar 5 version?
Did you get it from http://home.gwi.net/~pluto/devel/find_orb.htm ?
(I've not updated the version at http://www.projectpluto.com/find_orb.htm ,
and won't until I get some confirmation that this new version is
passably bug-free.)
