Tetrazole pKa problem

I am getting very different answers for a tetrazole pKa depending on which neutral tautomer is specified:


> cxcalc pKa "c1[nH]nnn1"


id    apKa1    apKa2    bpKa1    bpKa2    atoms
1    4.81        -0.85    -5.53    2,5,3


> cxcalc pKa "c1n[nH]nn1"


id    apKa1    apKa2    bpKa1    bpKa2    atoms
1    7.34        -1.52    -4.32    3,4,2


So the 1H tautomer is predicted at 4.81, which is about right, but the 2H tautomer is predicted at 7.3, which is clearly very wrong.  Looks like a bug to me, unless I'm doing something stupid....


Thanks,


Paul

Hi Paul, 


I've tested this issue and the fix will be available in version 16.10.31 the next week.
