A bugfix is available for RepeatMasker open-3.0 which corrects a problem
with short sequences run with the WUBlast option.
If a search is performed on a large sequence file containing many short
( less than 100bp sequences ) *and* during batching one of these
sequences ends up being placed as the last entry in a particular batch
you may see the following error messages:
identifying full-length ALUs in batch # of #
ERROR from search engine (16)
retrying comparison with smaller bandwidth
This is not a memory problem, rather a problem with the way we handled
exceptions returned by WUBlast. The fix is to replace the
WUBlastSearchEngine.pm file in your RepeatMasker installation directory
with the new version available here:
