[Ifeffit] Athena problem

[Jeff Terry]

Since everyone is bringing up oddities in Athena, at least under  
Debian, if you click on the load file button a second time after  
setting up the input file parameters before it has completed loading,  
you get a second group with the identical name but it is not  
selectable and cannot be deleted.
