Multi-area surveyindex fails when missing data

Gadget has a problem with incomplete survey index data when number of areas is larger than 1 and data is not consistently missing within the same likelihood component. E.g. in a three area model the following datafile would result in a likelihood score of 1*10^10 regardless of the parametervalue:
; Generated by mfdb 4.0.0
; -- data --
; year step area length number
1976 1 area3 len40 310.4467
1978 1 area1 len40 155.255333333333
1978 1 area2 len40 235.7002725
1978 1 area3 len40 1209.91449
1979 1 area1 len40 1357.965
1979 1 area2 len40 458.677632
1979 1 area3 len40 1082.82543384615
1980 1 area2 len40 350.74494
1980 1 area3 len40 1388.49823636364
A easy fix for this problem is to split the likelihood components by area but Gadget should handle this problem more elegantly.
