Yes, this is how metal bonding is frequently represented and yes, it's a pain. 
There might be a rule that if the atom is in the ring system, you do something 
different -- in some sense the metal isn't in a "ring" here.

I can confirm that this SMILES triggers nasty page faults on my desktop. I was 
able to get far enough to realize it's in the canonical label assignment 
(recursion), but not particular line numbers -- I get a lot of debugging 
information on the system-level allocation routines and VM paging.
