The latest release of Genbank (83, but 82 may have had a
problem as well) broke the part of the Eugene/SAM software package
that extracts sequences from Genbank. Eugene was not prepared for a
gbpri.seq file (or any other .seq) longer than 100 mbytes.
The fix is simple; in the file:
eugene3.3/src/programs/genbank/src/gbindex/gbindex.c
change the two lines in the printf() statements that write out the .idx
files to larger values. (hint: look for \t%8d\t%8d and change the 8's to
10's).
Then re-index the database.
