    Oxygen's identifiers are 8 +16 293, not 8.0 -2.0 293.

    There may be other erros of the same type, I haven't checked.
    But why do you use LOW-MAT? The default materials are those you want,
    and using LOW-MAT when it is not necessary is a frequent source of mistakes
    of this kind.
    There is a double warning in the manual, but users seem to love that
    command. The purpose of LOW-MAT is to override the defaults in the
    (rare) cases when they are not acceptable.
