Good catch. I still think this is fundamentally impossible to "get right". But good, you
are now in the same boat with me. The documentation will read: "if flag is TRUE, these data fields
are read from ODB, if flag is FALSE, those other fields are read from ODB". I will have to check
how this will work out for the TMFE C++ frontend (I think both mfe.c and TMFE frontends should
work "the same").

I think we have at least one month to play with this, I do not think we can do the next release
of midas until January.
