I just fired up my Windows virtual machine and download the latest
ifeffit installer to see what happens.

I see the same behavior as Doug and Scott report.  What's more, I see
the same behavior using the ifeffit command line program.  That is,
running "ifeffit" from the DOS prompt, then entering these two
commands
   read_data(file=cu010k.dat, group=a)
   plot(a.energy, a.xmu)
crashes ifeffit.

I don't have any advice at this point, particularly in light of
Michel's report.


I will state (again) that a small number of dedicated pre-testing
volunteers could go a long way towards rooting out these problems
*before* they get widely released.  Of course, I have asked for
volunteers of this sort in the past and have received, at best,
unfulfilled promises.  But I am willing once again to do my best Don
Quixote impression....
