I think there is a problem with the way coot parses the output from
coot-molprobity/probes-dots.out for displaying the probe clashes and making
the "Molprobity Probe Clash Gaps" window. 

Using the reduce and probe versions in example #1 below, coot 0.5 will
display the packing/clashes on the molecule but the "Molprobity Probe Clash
Gaps" window where you can click on each residue doesn't display the
information properly and will return a "not found error" and therefore not
choose the residue. I think this is related to the extra space between the
":" and the "A" in the examples below.  If I use the versions of
reduce/probe that work fine in coot 0.4.1 in 0.5, the "Molprobity Probe
Clash Gaps" window is empty and the clashes/packing are not drawn on the
molecule.  Running probe from the command line also results in these gaps(I
hope all this makes sense).

I have tried several combinations of reduce/probe (both compiled from source
and downloaded binaries) and also tested this with a a pre-built binary to
make sure my 64-bit version of coot 0.5 wasn't to blame.
