AMBER: antechamber bug? produces incorrect NEWPDB.PDB file

Question:

When we run antechamber to create NEWPDB.PDB and prepin files and assign
AMBER atom types it looks like the NEWPDB.PDB file has an incorrect format:

ATOM 18 H141AB1 1 -3.716 15.524 32.652 0.041810
ATOM 19 H142AB1 1 -5.014 15.668 31.441 0.044700
ATOM 20 H143AB1 1 -5.014 16.722 32.876 0.034220

Really our atom names here are "1H14" "2H14" "3H14" in the original PDB
file:

HETATM 61 1H14 AB1 X 1 -3.716 15.524 32.652 0.00
H 0
HETATM 62 2H14 AB1 X 1 -5.014 15.668 31.441 0.00
H 0
HETATM 63 3H14 AB1 X 1 -5.014 16.722 32.876 0.00
H 0

But something in antechamber is moving those prefix numbers into the
alternate location field of NEWPDB.PDB

Is this a known problem?

Thanks,

Bob Hanson
