Summary:
Weird bug when new directory gets created based on molecule name

Detailed description
I ran into this strange bug on windows which should happen very rarely but was time consuming because I did not understand what was going on. My pdb file (don't ask why) had a"space" at the end of file name before the .pdb extension. Zephyr created a directory "without the space" - which may have gotten stripped off when the directory was created but attempted to read from the directory with the space as in "villin /villin _processed.pdb" -- that resulted in a fatal error. I did not try this on mac. Remedy is probably to strip spaces from directory name. Incidentally after Zephyr encounters such a fatal error the "cancel button" is not available -- must quit Zephyr and restart it, to do a new run. This is kind of a freak error -- so not sure what priority to put this at
