[Ifeffit] Conflicting FEFF calculation

Dear All,

I have a problem of conflicting FEFF calculation for 
tris(acetate-O)arsenic [As(OCOCH3)3] (TAA) and tris(phenyl thio)arsenic 
[As(SC6H5)3] (TPA); respective cif and atom input files are attached. In 
Artemis, when I import TAA after TPA, the paths obtained for TAA from 
FEFF calculation are different compared to the scenario when I import 
and calculate the path for TAA at first. The problem is similar in both 
computers with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit operating system and 0.9.24 
version of Demeter and Windows 7 professional 32 bit operating system 
and 0.9.25 version of Demeter.

I have even tried a scenario, where I discarded both FEFF objects after 
getting inconsistent results for TAA and then imported TAA at first 
without restarting Artemis and I got wrong paths again, indicating 
software can remember from last calculation. Any explanation for this 
problem will be deeply appreciated.

With regards,

Ashis
