Greetings all,

I hope everyone had a nice weekend.

I'm also writing to report what might be a bug in the version of pdb2ins distributed with CCP4.  On some (but not all) of my linux systems I'm getting this error message from pdb2ins at random.  If I run the same command ~10 times in a row, then once or twice it actually works.
The rest of the runs I get error messages like this:

Cannot open self /home/programs/ccp4-7.1/bin/pdb2ins\326\376\177  or
archive /home/programs/ccp4-7.1/bin/pdb2ins\326\376\177 .pkg

Where I'm showing the octal codes "\326\376\177" instead of the raw binary characters that actually appear on my screen.  The last byte is always \177, but the first two are essentially random number generators.

This is happening only on my newest systems with Xeon W or Xeon Platinum processors running CentOS 7.9, but not on older boxes.

Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Thank you for maintaining pdb2ins !
