Looking at ambpdb's rendition of Neha's inpcrd, prmtop, to my mind there
should not be TER cards within a residue. The basic problem might be
trying to express everything as one residue. I'm not up-to-date enough
to guess exactly why ambpdb is putting TERs in there, but it seems like
a problem to me. Two snippets below to illustrate.
