[phenixbb] Trouble with occupancy refinement

Hello,

The non-unity occupancies were scattered among different glucose (and
BICINE) molecules, as shown below. But, again, I think the occupancy
refinement doesn't contribute much to the final model/maps.

Another concern of mind is that phenix.refine reports no Ramachandran
outliers in the results, but the plot in Coot lists 5. I'm tempted to trust
Coot here and attempt to fix these boundary cases.

Best,
Chris
