Hi Jens,

There is certainly a bug in the flattening algorithm.  It is a hard
bug to notice unless your data is measured over a short energy rangte
AND you e0 shift is large compared to the data range.  Alas, that
describes your data exactly.

I have fixed the bug and the fix will be in the next release of the
software.  I am interested in getting a new release out (including
windows installer) before operation start at the APS at the end of
January, so hopefully the wait will not be too long.

Until then, the only reasonable workaround I can think of is the one
that Dave suggested:

That is, admittedly, annoying if you have lots of data.

Thanks for this bug report.
