[gmx-users] pdb2gmx cannot generate the right residue and atom numbers

In addition to what Joao said, the fixed-width .pdb format is fundamentally
unsuited to large systems. You need to find a way to avoid using such a
.pdb file as input to pdb2gmx; either solvate later, or use a different
format for input.
