Mac Calibration issue with 3.5.2

[Robert Lancaster]

Ah, I hadn't thought to check INDI, I was checking in KStars and I think so
was Hy.  INDI hadn't occurred to me because I was thinking that it was
related to steps being taken in a routine in KStars during guider
calibration, so I was thinking it had to be somewhere in that code.  But
yes, it could certainly be something in INDI as well.  The power of
multiple minds. . .
