Hello Michael:
I believe this is related to a problem reported by Frank Haist; see

Program 3dFDR reads in the entire bucket dataset. Non-statistical
sub-bricks are copied directly to the output, without modification. Only
statistical sub-bricks are converted to the corresponding FDR z-scores.
However, a recent change to the software (RWC: 06 Feb 2003) made it impossible
for 3dFDR to determine which are the statistical sub-bricks, and which
are the non-statistical sub-bricks. Therefore, you may have to use the
sub-brick selector ('[]') to select only the statistical sub-bricks for
processing by 3dFDR.
Also, note that partial F values can be mapped to zero z-scores if the corresponding
FDR q-values are 1.0. Using a mask may help improve the statistical power.
