Luis,
  This is a problem with the 'psfgen' plugin on the 64-bit IRIX build
of VMD. We're working on building a new 'psfgen' plugin that doesn't
exhibit this problem. As soon as we've got it fixed, I'll post a new
psfgen on the web site for download, it should completely cure your problem.
In the mean time, you can run the 32-bit IRIX version, as that version of
the psfgen plugin works fine so far.
