The duplicated model was generated with following DSSR Pro commands:

```
x3dna-dssr tasks -i=model.pdb --frame-pair=last -o=model1-ref-last.pdb

x3dna-dssr fiber --seq=GG --rna-ds -o=conn.pdb
x3dna-dssr tasks -i=conn.pdb --frame-pair=first --remove-pair
-o=ref-conn.pdb

x3dna-dssr tasks --merge-file='model1-ref-last.pdb ref-conn.pdb'
-o=temp1.pdb

x3dna-dssr tasks -i=temp1.pdb --frame-pair=last --remove-pair -o=temp2.pdb
x3dna-dssr tasks -i=model.pdb --frame-pair=first -o=model1-ref-first.pdb

x3dna-dssr tasks --merge-file='temp2.pdb model1-ref-first.pdb'
-o=duplicate-model.pdb
```

It takes seconds to run. Moreover, by replacing `--seq=GG` with
`--seq=GA10G` for example, one can easily get a linker with 10 adenines.
The 'GG` is just a space-holder, and can be replaced with any other bases.
The linker sequence could be any bases: eg. A5T3G6, AAATTGG, etc. Users who
want to know more about DSSR can watch the overview video
http://docs.x3dna.org/dssr-overview/ (20m).

I noticed the phenomenon but I really do not know why. I used 'as lines' in
PyMOL to verify the duplicated model.
