[evlatests] X-band tuning issues

I noted a 'failure to tune' at X-band from observations made last
weekend. The failures always, and only, followed a setup at a different
frequency. No antenna was preferred in this -- the distribution of
failures appears completely random.
The same script, with a single change, was run the following
evening (Saturday night). The change was that instead of 8.5 and 9.5
GHz being the tuned center frequencies, we used 10.5 and 11.5 GHz.
No 'tuning failures' were found in the 2nd run. So the problem
appears to be that particular tuning choice (of 8.5 GHz).
A test file, using the same tuning setups, can be generated easily,
should anybody want to find out what is going wrong.
