This patch fixes two bugs in getdata's MULTIPLY and LINCOM generation when dealing with fields with differing samples per frame.  The two bugs are:

* getdata didn't return the number of samples requested, even when it could, but rounded the number of samples returned to an integer multiple of one of the fields' samples per frame.

* getdata didn't fetch the proper range of data from the second field when the start of the range was specified in samples and not frames.  As a result the derived vector returned was incorrect.  This was because first_frame and first_samp were being passed naively to the second DoField without taking into account the difference in samples per frame.

The supplied patch fixes both of these bugs.  For the second bug, first_frame and first_samp are taken to refer exclusively to the first field in the LINCOM (or MULTIPLY).  The starting sample for successive fields is calculated relative to this.  This is what is expected, since the samples per frame of the vector returned by getdata is equal to the samples per frame of the first field in the derived field specification.
