[Ifeffit] inp file - artemis crashing when running feff calc on manually generated inp file

[Bruce Ravel]

The next release of Demeter will interpret RMULTIPLIER sensibly.  It 
will also fail in this situation (and many others where Feff fails to 
run to completion) in a more graceful way.

It is, however, somewhat difficult to capture feff's error messages in a 
way that I know will work on all the platforms.  Still, a more graceful 
failure and a useful message to the Feff console should go a long way 
towards making the original problem more understandable.

Stephen: thanks for the bug report.
