Division by zero in rat/rats

[Atanas Atanasov]

I applied the patch but still seem to get the same error. I am
attaching my new rat.m file, and the diff with the old one. It is
quite possible that this is an issue of patching since this is the
first time I perform the operation.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best,
Atanas Atanasov
