[Ifeffit] trouble with Atoms on Mac OSX

[Paul Fons]

The default memory limit of the (cshell at least) is insufficient to 
run feff.  Try rerunning the code after using the (cshell) command 
unlimit.  You can check the current shell limitations with "limit -h" 
(hard limits).  I don't know what the equivalent commands for bash are 
but I am fairly sure there are similar limitations (to prevent naive 
users from using all system resources by accident).
