- JPB, April 8th 2022:
  Dustem has a bug due to calculation accuracy for the THEMIS model, which solves by replacing max size values in GRAIN_THEMIS.DAT from 9.00E-6 into 8.99E-05

- JPB, April 8th 2022:
  Dustemwrap causes the Fortran to crash if the chrg keyword is not specified in the initial GRAIN.DAT file, but is subsequently added by the (*!dustem_params).grains[0].TYPE_KEYWORDS. A similar error is likely to occur for the spin keyword (untested).
  We must force these pointers to not be empty just after writing our own GRAIN.DAT in /tmp, in the same way this is done in dustem_init.pro with the GRAIN.DAT from the fortran directory.
- *FOLLOW UP*: IC, May 15th 2022: A SOLUTION HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY INTRODUCING the 'kwords' 
;keyword and specifying the necessary population keywords. IE: kwords=['plaw-ed-chrg-spin'] for the first grain population
;to enable the use of spinning dust. THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE ANYMORE.
