[Eeglablist] Problems about DIPFIT

[Michael Boyle]

Hey,

You are correct, this is a bug in dipfit that only throws an error when the
number of components is fewer than the number of data channels. It wasn't
that hard to fix in the code (like 3 or 4 function calls deep from
pop_multifit) but I haven't submitted the bug report yet.
