XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . ... The RGS is addressed by the task rgsrmfgen . The size of the o/p RMF is dependent on the spectrum binsize and the number of bins in the energy grid, and can be very large. Heavy consumption of disk space is expected. Memory consumption will also be high as the full RMF is held in memory before being written to disk. ... The task directly uses a section of code from the arfgen task. ...

... These are ``quirks'' rather than ``bugs''. Below is a list of quirks. When loading a file and ``Reset Intensity Upon File Load'' is disabled, the intensity range of the previous image will be used. ... When moving between two images (such as when blinking, or when loading a new image), the display system attempts to retain the old image parameters (i.e. zoom box). What is retained are the corners of the zoom box measured in image pixel co-ordinates, not world co-ordinates. ...
