[phenixbb] Alternate conformation occupancies sum more than 1

Hi Mikalai,

this most likely means the alternative conformations were not correctly 
formatted in input PDB file. If you send me the file (or it's portion) 
containing atoms in questions I will provide more specific help. Please 
send files to my email only and not mailing list.
