Be sure to install the drive-side (fixed) cup very tightly and to full recommended torque. Otherwise they tend to unthread themselves under pedaling forces. Installed properly, they are fine but do it correctly.
Thanks, it was right-hand threaded and came out with a bit of persuasion. Now I have to figure out if the headset has odd threads. I guess removing the fork and trying threading an ISO headset would be the easiest test. Would markings on the Campy headset give a hint?
