[Ifeffit] Athena crash during LCA

[Jeff Terry]

Hi Scott, 

No my fault, I suffer from tl;dr itis. I didn't read beyond linear combination. 

That said it still works:

Fitting Data as chi(k) from 3.000 to 12.000
   fit done use k-weight = 2

Fit included 181 data points and 1 variable
R-factor = 0.209356
chi-square = 30.92638
reduced chi-square = 0.1718132

   group                weight
=======================================
  2: Standard 1         0.436(0.016)
  3: Standard 2         0.564(0.016)

It gets as far as "plotting in k-space from group 'Data'...done!' and then hangs, with the watch icon remaining indefinitely. This doesn't happen in norm(E) or deriv(E) fits, and doesn't happen when Standard 1 is not used. But Standard 1 appears to have uncorrupted chi(k) data when plotted directly. Standard 1 is from one of the XDAC lines at NSLS, as are the standards that work.

I've also looked at the data in Standard 1, and I don't see anything out of place, such as a place where the energy backs up. I've tried starting the chi(k) file with zero values, truncating the end values, and changing the background spline to end at the same point the data does. And it always hangs at the same point.
