[phenixbb] Group B factor refinement not working for low resolution data

Hi Phoebe,

I'm always interested to have a look at unusual cases... Often this 
builds knowledge and helps to improve methodology. Would you mind 
sending me files (data and model) so that I can investigate what's going on?

Thanks,
Pavel
