Opps, it is ILINK which computes Ott's generalized lod score, not MLINK or
LINKMAP. David Curtis' discussion of MLINK was correct - MLINK does only
change one theta at a time, and, as pointed out, this may result in a 'lod
score' that is not a proper multipoint lod score because it was standardized
by the wrong likelihood.
