There is a bug in pdbset: when you output a sequence (using "SEQU PDB"),
the residue names are shifted to the left by one position.  Here is how
it looks like:

In PDB-file downloaded from the PDB:
SEQRES   5 A  171  ALA THR CYS ...          
PDBSET output:
SEQRES   5 A  171 ALA THR CYS ... 


I looked in the fortran code (CCP4 6.0.2) and it appears that this line:

 6601             format ('SEQRES',i4,1x,a1,1x,i4,1x,13a4)

should be corrected like this

 6601             format ('SEQRES',i4,1x,a1,1x,i4,2x,13a4)

I stumbled upon this when trying to insert SEQRES records into a
pdb-file for processing in hydropro.  Don't know if it's important
anywhere else, but hydropro can't read the sequence if it's shifted.
