Sorry I didn't pick up on this before....atom names within a residue must
be unique, this is a requirement of LEaP.

If I load a pdb file created from your prmtop/coord file into LEaP, I see
the following:

> x = loadpdb alphacd.pdb
Loading PDB file: ./alphacd.pdb
-- residue 1: duplicate [ C] atoms (total 36)
-- residue 1: duplicate [ H] atoms (total 60)
-- residue 1: duplicate [ O] atoms (total 30)

   ATOM NAMES IN EACH RESIDUE MUST BE UNIQUE:
     (same-name atoms are reduced to a single atom)

This should be a fatal, rather than a non-fatal error (Scott??). But anyway,
you have to really pay attention to warnings like this.

To work around this, you need to make sure that each atom has a unique
name.

..hope this helps...sorry I didn't pick up on this earlier....dac
