Oops, sorry. I originally "fixed" the problem that newer MDL files cause
a lock up of the MDL reader but apparently that fix was a little to
wild. I just posted a correction of it to the update stream. For now you
can just revert to Jeff's original version - as long as you use the
models that Jeff put up everything will work just fine with it.
Cheers,
- Andreas
