This came up just a few days ago. VMD is writing an incorrect pdb
file. In principle, Amber ought to handle it (especially since VMD works
hard to read in various Amber file formats), but tleap doesn't do that.
A workaround is to reformat the VMD pdb file, perhaps even removing all
hydrogens.

^^^^^^
Above two lines are incorrect: the atom name should be shifted left by one
column.
