Do you mean hydrogen-bond restraints? -- At 2.9A the structure would
probably be completely distorted if you didn't have any restraints.
The 6 times standard deviation should not happen if we use the same
restraints as the pdb is expecting. If you send me (off-list) the
inputs and the pdb summary letter we'll take a closer look.

A few outliers are expected. Did you look at them in coot?
