Pearson) Original-subject: bug in tfasta Reposted-by: emv@ox.com (Edward Vielmetti) A minor bug in tfasta has been discovered (that hid for about four years). It causes the program to core-dump when it encounters a DNA sequence shorter than 5 nt. (Apparently there are several very short sequences in recent releases from genbank.) The bug affects both the older fasta14 and the newer fasta15, and revised versions of both have been posted for anonymous ftp in uvaarpa.virginia.EDU:/public_access/fasta14d.shar(.Z) or fasta15b.shar(.Z).
