[Ifeffit] chi(k) Athena bug?

[Bruce Ravel]

Olivier,

This is a bit confusing.  I want to be sure I understand the most
salient point:

 1. You have a file of chi(k) that does not start at 0

 2. The current version of Athena fails to read this correctly.

 3. The current version of Artemis is able to read this correctly.

Is that right?  Can I see the data file?  (Once again: problems can't
be fixed if I cannot reproduce them on my own computer.)
