Hi,
I compiled and tested your plugin on my machine here and I fixed
a few minor bugs in it. This new version should be compileable with
both the old VMD 1.8.3 versions and with the latest test version of
VMD 1.8.4. (I added ifdefs for the changes in the plugin interface for you)
I was able to load your example molecule and get atom colors etc.
Your original code wasn't assigning the atom name, and the atom type field
was overrunning a buffer, so that may have been what caused your crash.
Try the attached version of the plugin code and see if it works better
for you.
