Dear Amber developers,

There is a bug in command savepdb in leap. I found the following lines in
leap src:
                if (r->pdb.atom.serial_num > 99999)
                        atom_overflow = 1;
                if (r->pdb.atom.residue.seq_num > 9999)
                        residue_overflow = 1;
                if (atom_overflow && !residue_overflow) {
                        fmt =
                  "ATOM %6d%-4s%C%-3s %C%4d%C %8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%6.2f%6.2f
%3D";
                } else if (!atom_overflow && residue_overflow) {
                        fmt =
                  "ATOM %5d %-4s%C%-3s %C%5d%C %8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%6.2f%6.2f
%3D";
                } else if (atom_overflow && residue_overflow) {
                        fmt =
                  "ATOM %6d%-4s%C%-3s %C%5d%C %8.3f%8.3f%8.3f%6.2f%6.2f
%3D";
                }


It has considered the overflow of residue sequence number. However, it can
only handle residue number < 100000.
I am currently working on a large RNA molecule. After adding the solvent
box, the maximum residue number arrives at 197778.
When the structure was opened by vmd, only a small number of water
molecules could be shown. So I looked at the pdb file and found that the
positions of some (most) coordinates are wrong, starting from residue
100000. Shown here:
ATOM 308933 O WAT 99999 9.731 -99.684 -65.426 1.00 0.00
ATOM 308934 H1 WAT 99999 9.662-100.625 -65.587 1.00 0.00
ATOM 308935 H2 WAT 99999 10.493 -99.593 -64.854 1.00 0.00
TER
ATOM 308936 O WAT 100000 10.761-106.876 -65.199 1.00 0.00
ATOM 308937 H1 WAT 100000 11.138-107.749 -65.312 1.00 0.00
ATOM 308938 H2 WAT 100000 10.663-106.541 -66.090 1.00 0.00

You can see that the coordinates have been shifted to the right by one
column. The code above cannot handle this situation when the residue number
>= 100000.
It only affects the saved pdb file. The rst file saved by saveamberparm is
fine.
