Whoops! I accidentally replied only to James, rather than to the whole list.
PyMOL has some trouble with assigning charges. PDB2PQR handles it, but
manages to generate a bad PQR (missing the space between some columns with
leading minus signs, e.g. -100.2345-100.2345). Fixing the PQR file by hand
fixes the problem.
