Hi
It looks like Dimitris has been bitten by something that is all too common,
unfortunately (so common that the next release of iMosflm will try to trap this
issue).
This error occurs when the user tries to open an image in iMosflm by using the
"open session" function - which is actually there so you can read an XML file
saved from a previous iMosflm session (and which almost no-one seems to use).
When the code finds a file (e.g. a CBF) that isn't valid iMosflm saved session
XML, it gets a bit confused.
A number of years ago, I wrote a very brief pocket guide on the basics of
running iMosflm - although I haven't updated it since 2008, I think it's still
worth looking at if you haven't run iMosflm before (or recently) - see
