ISSUE: 245 getting an "authority control number" assigned to it

When I retrieve a bib record to work on, for each tag, info displays at
the bottom of the screen.  One of the categories of information is
"Authority control number."  For headings under authority control, its
ACN displays here.  For other fields, like 300, 260, etc., it's just
blank.  
BUT  for the 245, an authority control number is displayed!

245 is NOT, of course, subject to authority control, so it should be
balnk.  The number that displays is bogus; I tried searching on it in
the Authority module and it says "invalid control number."  Why, then,
does it even display?  Get rid of it!

ESC 1, the authority hotkey, does not work at 245 level, so that's encouraging.

H.M.A.,
Sam
