I don't know if OMFIT is even a supported task, but here is my question.

The help file indicates that there is no limit to the number of visibilities the program can
handle. However, I find that if the combined number of channels and IFs exceeds some (ill-defined) 
threshold, the program will just spit out "NaN"s. I would like to understand what is driving this limit.

Something in the help file suggested that the program might not like multiple IFs, but
using NOIFS to reduce to a single IF is not sufficient to cure the problem.

Thanks,
Lynn Matthews
