​Where did this PSF file come from? It's missing 3 sections that I haven't
seen ​_all_ missing from a PSF file: NUMLP/NUMLPH, and NCRTERM (effectively
the CMAP section). If this is a typical example from a standard source, I
will probably have to rethink how I parse PSF files in ParmEd to be a bit
more flexible to the abuse the PSF file format has taken (reminiscent of
what's happened to the PDB format, really...)

It may be worth doing that, anyway. Thanks for the report.
