[Ifeffit] Core-hole Lifetimes in Hephaestus 0.9.26

To Whom it may concern,

I am quite sure there is a general lifetime/energy-width conversion error
in Hephaestus: All core-hole lifetimes seem to come out too long by a
factor of - as it seems exactly - 10:
E.g. the lifetime of the F K-edge with a width of 0.25 eV is given as
25.30 fs instead of ca. 2.6 fs (width = h_bar / lifetime).

This glitch was present in 0.9.25 already and, as I noticed after
updating, prevails in 0.9.26. I have not tried earlier versions.

Best regards,

Daniel
