Author's comments: Although this paper has some merit, it also leaves a lot to be desired, and suffers from the author's inexperience with the material. For a better treatment of more general questions and corrections to the assertions of this paper, the reader is advised to consult a paper of Thomas Zink, Über die schlechte Reduktion einiger Shimuramannigfaltigkeiten, Comp. Math. 45 (1981).
