[gmx-users] definition of J-couplings in g_chi

There is a clue in the gmx_c.file, which says:
{ "J_NHa", 6.51, -1.76, 1.6, -M_PI/3, 0.0, 0.0 }
The above A,B,C values are the same as in the Bax paper in JACS, 1993 115 7772 and are for homonuclear 3J(NH,CHa) couplings
{ "J_HaC'", 4.0, 1.1, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 },
The same set of coefficients as in JACS 1995 117 1810 for the Karplus equation for a heteronuclear 3J(1H,13C) coupling between the NH proton and the C' carbon (why use J_HaC' if it is J_NHC' ??)
{ "J_HaN", -0.88, -0.61,-0.27,M_PI/3, 0.0, 0.0 }
The same as in JACS 1995 117 1810 for the Karplus equation for a heteronuclear 3J(1H,15N) coupling between the Ha proton and the 15N nucleus which is 3 bonds away from Ha.
Going back to the reason for my question, when running g_chi for a PRO containing peptide there should be no output for PRO in the J_NHa column in chi.log as there is no proton attached to N of PRO. But g_chi insists that there is J_NHa coupling for PRO ?!
