It depends on the distance between the atoms and the size of the probe.
If you do it systematically by varying the distance between two atoms,
what do you get? If the distance is zero it should be the same as for
one atom, is it large it should be twice that...

(I'm pretty sure we fixed this one, and I also did comparison with
another program msms)
