Hi John,

I removed the experimental plugin, but I still get an error except that
this time it describes 2 Dynamically loaded plugins in directory. The full
error message is below
```

Info) OpenGL renderer: Apple Software Renderer
Info) Features: STENCIL MDE MTX NPOT PP PS GLSL(OVF)
Info) Full GLSL rendering mode is available.
Info) Textures: 2-D (16384x16384), 3-D (16384x16384x16384), Multitexture
(8)
Info) Dynamically loaded 2 plugins in directory:
Info) /Applications/VMD 1.9.4.app/Contents/vmd/plugins/MACOSXX86/molfile
VMD(11830,0xa2fe3000) malloc: *** error for object 0x78e769d4: incorrect
