It seems that they encoded 21 fields in the record which stores the pixel 
widhts for the column view. Run "pilot-file -v test1.pdb" using the 
pilot-file program in the pilot-link package and you will see a dump of the 
records. I'll turn the error into a warning instead and just ignore it in the 
next version.
