psfgen is failing when trying to read some ATOM statement:

    else if ( ! strncmp("ATOM",tok[0],4) ) {
      debug_msg("Recognized atom statement.");
      if ( ntok < 4 ) {
        print_msg(v,"ERROR! Failed to parse atom statement.");
      } else if ( ntok > 4 ) {
        print_msg(v,"ERROR! Explicit exclusions or fluctuating
charges not supported, atom ignored.");
      } else {
        s1 = parse_atom(tok[1],&i1,&j1);
        if ( topo_defs_atom(defs,0,0, s1,i1,j1,tok[2],atof(tok[3])) ) {
          print_msg(v,"ERROR! Failed to parse atom statement.");
        }
      }
    }

It looks like it is recognizing more than 4 tokens. Make sure you
don't have any special characters on the lines you modified.

Cheers,
Leo
