Dear Karthik and Sergei,

	Thank you for the replies (helpful and humorous).  Karthik, I confirmed that the chain breaks in my .PDB have TER cards, but I arrive at the same result.  Perhaps "dark matter" is to blame for this "singularity" after all...  In that case, maybe I just need to try again tomorrow. I'll post the solution if I find it before moving on.

Regards,
-Andy

If you have break in the protein chain, this problem will occur. Put "TER" card
in the PDB file where ever the chain break is there, then run SFCHECK. The .ps
output now will be complete and should be able to see in the viewer.
