That looks weird.

As I said last time, the atom numbers in the coordinate file are not 
significant. You can make them all zero, and make_ndx will still let you 
make an index file that will work. Only the ordering is significant. The 
contortions that I thought would regularize the numbers were only to 
help you double check what is happening.

I don't know.
