Any number of things could be wrong here.  Realize that .pdo files have been 
obsolete since about 2008, so the code referring to them is not routinely used 
or maintained.  So something could be going on there, and I suspect that is at 
least part of the problem, given the fact that the maximum and minimum can't be 
calculated properly.  Another possibility is that the contents of the files are 
misinterpreted; a quick look at the code suggests that the first field should be 
float (time in ps, not timestep) so something may be off.

You may want to consider using Alan Grossfield's WHAM program so you don't have 
to deal with all this .pdo-specific stuff; most people use that program for 
analyzing NAMD output.
