This happens if you try to read a .pdb file from SHELXL into Coot
directly. SHELXL doesn't know the name of the space group (!), only the
symmetry operators (with the advantage that it has no problems with
non-standard settings) so it doesn't put the name of the space group
onto the CRYST1 line. An elegant way around this problem is to read the
.res file from SHELXL into Coot instead, or you can edit the CRYST1 line
in the .pdb file.
