[Ifeffit] Error in second shell fit

[Devender]

Hi Bruce,

I tried that quickly, and no more error log! Fitting for second and third
shells is working. Appreciate your help and going over my files.

Freeze option really helps when I am trying to analyze systematic data like
doping, where I have added incremental amount of dopants, and want to
compare them together to notice changes without letting athena vary
parameters for different scans.

Regards,
Dev
