Re: Small molecule simulation error NAMD

Somewhere in NAMD 2.13 development we dropped the use of dummy bonds to
lonepairs and exclusively took that information from the PSF lonepair host
section (NUMLPH). These sections were otherwise redundant at best or
contradictory at worst.

One thing that might still get goofed up is the "lonepairs on" command,
which should be auto toggled based on the PSF header. I'm pretty sure it
would be safe to add this to you config file.

HTH,
Brian
