[phenixbb] pdb LINK record lost after phenix refine in GUI

Hi Lu,

phenix.refine is a refinement program, not model building. It will 
attempt to refine whatever you give it, good or garbage, and, in case of 
garbage in, expect garbage out, typically.

So if you have that H that given the new bond should go, then you should 
delete it. Perhaps we should detect such cases automatically and deal 
with them seamlessly (thoughts, Nigel?) but at present it appears to me 
as the next level of sophistication that we haven't gotten to yet.

Yes, this is true.

Likewise!
