[phenixbb] Changing the resolution cutoff for water picking

Hi Sam,

- a quick solution would be to switch to individual ADP refinement, 
which is I don't see "why not" at this resolution and R-factors. To do 
so, just replace "group_adp" in your "strategy" keyword with 
"individual_adp", or simply remove "strategy" completely since the 
default is to refine individual coordinates and B-factors.

- I would be interested to know why your original command crashes and to 
do so I need to reproduce this crash myself. Could you please send me 
the input data and model files (cifs as well) so I can do some debugging?

Thanks!
Pavel.
