change caused by the parameter file

[Axel T. Brunger]

The new parameters use different van der Waals radii (very similar
to PROLSQ).  These differences mainly affect the 1-4 interactions.  
However, since the solvent mask calculation uses the van der Waals
parameters
the mask will be different.  You may have to use a different probe
radius when computing the mask.
