I encountered the same problem a while ago, although I think the number of
frames vmd read before failing was different. A work around is to read in the
pdb files produced by babel in a tcl loop.
Suppose your pdb files were named frame0001.pdb to frame5000.pdb you could use:

for {set i 1} {$i <= 5000} {incr i} {
   set f [format "frame%04d.pdb" $i]
   animate read pdb $f 0
}

Hope this helps until a real fix comes along,
Ivo
