Is the Mac set up with an unusual language, locale or set of formats?  I 
experienced this with an older version of Coot when one of our group fiddled 
with "Language & Text" in System Preferences.  They were trying to make it 
easier for themselves to create text files in Greek and/or Cyrillic script.  
The changes had the unintended consequence of breaking coot.

My theory at the time was that the number separators (, and .) had reversed 
which was confusing an input library that was used in reading PDB and MTZ 
files.  Setting the region back to UK or US fixed the problem, and I didn't 
investigate much further.
