Ah. I see. The problem isn't in the file. Now I understand: I had loaded 3zoo prior to 1oxy and had overlooked to set the "Load files for:" selection in the File Browser to "New Molecule". When any file is then loaded "for" 0:3zoo the error occurs reproducibly. It's just that the error message pointed me into a completely different direction ...

Bottom line: user error and misleading error message.
Thanks,
Boris
