    In cylindrical coordinates with a reflecting boundary for the radial
    coordinate and xmin = 0.0, x(i-1) = -x(i) for i = 5 so x(5)**2 = x(4)**2
    and there is a division by zero for i = 5 in the computation of avis(i).
    avis(5) is set to zero anyway in hydro_1d for reflecting b.c. but the
    following change avoids the divide by zero.
