Hello Simon,

if I remember correctly, mosflm only estimates overloads if you explicitly ask
for it - which you should NOT do especially since you do have a low resolution
pass.

(from the documentation at
http://www.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/harry/mosflm/mosflm_user_guide.html :
"Note that you MUST include keywords PROFILE OVERLOAD in order to estimate the
intensities of overloaded reflections by profile fitting.")
