Hello,

I've started to recently having problems with VEP script while using 
different plugins (most of them own plugins).

I'm not getting any other error message. So I cannot debug properly. I 
thought my plugins were OK but it's seems they don't. I think the 
problem occurs when I use "aa_grantham_distance plugin" together with 
"flanking_sequence". I've no idea what could be causing this.

I'm running VEP on verbose mode but I can't get any usefull information. 
How could I debug that?

Best regards,
Guillermo.
