Jian,

Bio::Structure is one area where much work still needs to be done.   
There had been talk on the list a while back about restructuring/ 
refactoring everything there but I have seen little progress as of yet.

Also, it would help tremendously if you attach a simple script to the  
bug report demonstrating the bug for those unfamiliar with  
Bio::Structure (like me!).  This is so we can confirm it and try to  
get a fix in.

cheers!
