I further checked that step (4) below does not give problems when loading a
single POPC molecule:
model = loadpdb "popc.pdb"
edit model
May it be that problems to leap (and not to either VMD or Chimera) arise from
how membrane.pdb is written, i.e. without TER records separating the various
molecules?
