Re: Problem regarding psfgen

If you look at the terms that were actually skipped (eg, in the topology
file), you'll note that they have definitions involving atoms from the
previous or next residue, and thus shouldn't be used at all (the
topology definitions for residues include these bonds/impropers/cmap
terms for the middle of the chain, but they're just discarded at the
appropriate termini).
