I am not ready to jump for this. What code is producing this file? I'm
guessing you are usurping the mmCIF format for your own purposes, right? I
think it is very clever to use _atom_site.auth_seq_id for these purposes,
and we could consider that, though it cannot be a default to read this data
block, since it is not the same as CONECT, and it is not consistent with
Jmol's standard autobonding business.

it's not that it is zero, only that it is on the axis. Hover over it, and
you will see that it has the proper value.

That's a bug due to the longer-than-three-character residue names. (fixed,
or at least those are truncated to 3 char)

that is the case -- now that it is fixed (sort of) for residue names.

Can't have it both ways, unfortunately.
