Dear developers,

The AtomicCoordinatesOrigin section in the FDF file does not seem to behave
according to the specifications in the manual.  The manual says:

"AtomicCoordinatesOrigin (data block): Vector specifying a rigid shift to
apply to the atomic coordinates, given in the same format and units as these
."

However, in my calculations, although I specified "AtomicCoordinatesFormat
NotScaledCartesianAng", the AtomicCoordinatesOrigin was taken to be in Bohr
radii rather than Ångströms, giving a different shift than expected.  I find
this particularly surprising since in SIESTA 1.1 AtomicCoordinatesOrigin was
always properly understood to be in Ångströms.
