chi_new() doubling memory needs but does nothing?

Hi all,

Anyone knows what chi_new() does? I'm working with version 8.8.3

It's defined in ./70_gw/m_screening.F90 and called once in ./95_drive/screening.F90 for variable "chihw", at the end of a q=0 screening calculation.

It doesn't seem to actually calculate anything but it asks for memory as much as an entire dielectric matrix.. (number of Gs squared times number of omegas).

Seems like you can safely discard these lines.
