Dear Francesco,

I tested your two sets of data & this is exactly what I told you in my
first email: Antechamber authorizes non-strict mol2 file format. I
think this is potentially buggy if one wants to use the outputs of
Antechamber in other programs.

When your mol2 file format has a residue number = 4, LEaP crashes
(because a patch was not applied; I think you did not applied the
patch suggested by Dr Case).

When your mol2 file has a residue number = 1, LEaP does not crash. I
only loaded gaff and the geometry of PHA is correct (correct in LEaP,
in VMD using the prmtop/inpcrd generated, correct when using ambpdb &
the prmtop/inpcrd generated).

I did not load amber99SB & then gaff - if you do so and if the
geometry looks broken this is just another bug or an incompatibility
between the leaprc of amber99SB and gaff.

regards, Francois
