15080	Better handling of multi-character chain IDs for Modeller	Elaine Meng	Eric Pettersen	"There is something seriously weird about this structure, and I can reproduce that Modeller gives a failure message, but I don't know which part of the data that it hates.  Even if I delete the ligand before modeling missing segments, it still fails, so maybe it's something with the sequence.
