problems of improper dihedral calculation with Fist

In the mol_force.F file. there is one line in force_imp_torsions subroutine

phi = SIGN( ACOS ( cosphi ), DOT_PRODUCT ( t12, tn ))

I suggest to change it to 

phi = ACOS( cosphi )

since improper potential is not periodic. For a dihedral close to 180 
degree it can varies between -180.0 and 180.0 that will influence the 
result a lot.
