	Oh, it shouldn't do that.  If there's no file aroudn when you
start,
	it's supposed to initialize a new one from the one in
`initial_geometry()'.
	If you use an empty file nothing will work.

	Sorry;  when I said "empty", I meant in the logical sense (the
file was non-zero in length).  It did seem to have some initial
geometry.

	This would be typical of that.

	It turns out that I was causing this my killing zigzag
prematurely.  If I exit nicely, I get a proper, usable file.

	That should be fine.
