Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

This survey is about 18 years old and was a Special Survey, as you say, not a standard DHS survey. I took a quick look at the files, and they seem strange. For example, the "individual" file has 9997 cases but 1883 of them have qweight=0. The "respondent" file does not include a weight variable. The age distribution in the "respondent" file is bizarre--1801 cases at age 15 and 205 at age 24. That steep a gradient in the age distribution is impossible. The "household" file has 9999 cases, but 1366 of them have qhweight=0.

If you want to work with these files you will have to do the detective work on your own. You also would do it at your own risk. DHS cannot provide support.
