1)Treasury was bidding above and over fair market price.  These old 
bonds aren't exactly that liquid.  2)Suppose there are tax advantages 
to booking a capital gain as well.  3)If you want to hold a long 
bond, that 11% bond was probably issued sometime between 1981-1984.  
It has only 10 years to maturity and given the healthy coupon, its 
duration is probably about 5 years.  Remember these funds go by 
average duration on their portfolios.  4)Who wants to own a high 
coupon bond during times when the front end yield is so low?  You 
wind up reinvesting that big coupon at 1.5% money market.  May as 
well buy a low coupon bond to back load your coupons.
