If you're getting a number starting with 1, it's probably wrong.  You can't 
calculated Scd for the first carbon in a chain because there is no n-1 carbon 
from which to determine the necessary vectors.  Someone (probably me) updated 
the wiki when version 4.5.4 was current, so probably any 4.5.x version is really 
affected, and 4.6.x may be as well, since this really is just a trivial bug that 
requires simple reinterpretation.
