I finally discovered the problem I was having, thanks to a tip by a fellow 
Seesatter.  Below is a sample of one of the two bad TLEs I found.  After 
deleting them everything ran fine.  Apparently these TLEs are full of zeroes! 

74097D   
1 07570U 74097D   69364.99988426 -.00000187 +00000-0 +00000-0 0 00009
2 07570 000.0000 000.0000 0000000 000.0000 000.0000 00.34486728000003

As somewhat of a side note, the sat I had been attempting to identify WAS 
identified positively.  It was NORAD# 23488U, Designator 94085M.  There was 
no other identification, like many of the sats in alldat.tle  Does anyone 
know of a way I could figure out what this really is, just out of curiosity?  
It was magnitude 10 to 11 during the pass I observed, so fairly small and/or 
distant.

Thanks for the overwhelming response regarding my dilemma.
