Did you by any chance convert the file to analyze on an SGI and then view the
resulting analyse header on a linux box?  If so perhaps you are getting
byte swapping problems.

try running the conversion as such (on the SGI):

   $ mnc2ana -verbose file.mnc out.hdr

This should provide a dump of the analyze header as it is created.
either that or use the C/L tool 'ana_show out.hdr' on the SGI or at least where
you run mnc2ana.

With this output I may be able to assist you a bit more.
