[phenixbb] Refinement of perfect twined data of P31/P32

[Pavel Afonine]

Hi,

just to second Nat's reply - yes, if you send the files to 
help at phenix-online.org I will be happy to have a look.

I've seen cases which are genuinely troublesome (and which we may not be 
able to help much with given how much time we can afford to spend), but 
also I witnessed situations where an "R-factor and refinement" trouble 
like this was due to using Iobs calling them Fobs (or something like 
this obviously wrong and simple to detect and correct).
