Are you making manual updates, or allowing genbox/genion to make changes for 
you?  In the case of the former, check your work :)  In the case of the latter, 
I'd be more concerned.

There really is nothing diagnostic that can be done.  You simply have to check 
how many of each molecule are in your system.  Something has gone wrong 
somewhere along the way.
