I just looked quickly at the PDB file format specification @ www.rcsb.org/pdb

I do not believe that the official format supports any type of NAN value
for fields of type Real.

I think that ignoring the atoms would be fine.

It seems like we should try to put up some type of warning message, but
there is currently no mechanism for that.

Actually, we should think about adding some functionality to the
JmolAdapter so that it could get warning messages from the underlying
Reader. That way the different applications (applet, application, embedded
control) could get access to warning messages and handle them as they see
appropriate.
