Just before the garbled output the script outputs a error message:
"ERROR: Forked process failed"

My apologies Will, I know should have done it... but now the script is not giving me this error anymore so I would not be surprised if it was user error (me) in this case.

In attachment is a config file I am using to annotate a large VCF file

The two only recurrent bugs I am still getting have to do with the fork parameter and with memory not getting released from the script

1) when running with no forks, the script runs fine but it appears that memory does not get deallocated from the script so all RAM and cache gets used and eventually the script dies.
2) when using the fork parameter, the script eventually crashes, but I do not believe it to be related to filling the RAM like the previous case. The script just crashes and outputs a bunch of garbled text

I hope this is more usefull than my previous bug report.

Best regards

Duarte

Hi Duarte,

For this, and any future bug reports, it would be really helpful if you could relay the conditions that give rise to this error i.e. the input, options used etc.

Thanks

Will
