Dear Midas experts, 

I'm running into something which looks like an initialization problem. 
I have a mfe.cxx-style frontend which introduces an equipment of the EQ_PERIODIC type (EQ_PERIODIC-only!). 
When Midas enters the running state, I see the frontend crashing. 
Stepping through the code shows that the frontend is crashing because its equipment has been ignored 
by the initialize_equipment@mfe.cxx - see

Is there an assumption that the initialization of the EQ_PERIODIC-only equipment is the user responsibility? 
Or EQ_PERIODIC should always come paired with some other type?

-- many thanks, regards, Pasha
