I am working with the software mentioned for over two years now. The 
problem is patience. Some procedures are time-consuming, and BIOSYM's 
surfaces in CPK are special in order to permit depth-cueing effects. The 
calculation takes long and the input queue is open. Once this queue 
recognizes overflow, core_trap() prevents a segmentation violation error 
and, therefore, exits. You should contact the BIOSYM office in Munich 
if you need more detailed information. 

The easiest workaround is to wait for completion of the steps and hit the 
mouse button afterwards.
