Summary: trouble with guanidinium

Initial Comment:
I've been using version 2.2.3 (Dec 1 09) on Linux to add hydrogens to a series 
of small molecules. It is working beautifully except for guanidinium and 
amidinium groups. In most cases, it treats these as uncharged, and I can't get 
the pH flag to make changes. Here is an odd example that shows a change in 
behavior:
PDB entry 1dwc--the ligand from the file is called MIT.
If I extract the ligand (attached here) and add hydrogens, the guanidinium 
comes out fine, and the pH function seems to work (the carboxyl gets protonated 
at low pH, and the guanidium becomes uncharged at high pH).
Then, delete the two oxygens in the carboxyl group (O33 and O34). With that 
modified file, the guanidinium is always treated as uncharged, at all pH values 
that I tried. I find this same behavior with almost all other files with 
guanidinium groups (for instance, ligand from pdb files: 1bmm, 1bmn, 1bra, 
1dwb, etc).
Thanks for your help!
