[Biojava-dev] OutOfMemory when using a big Weight Matrix to find Motifs in 1.3.1 but not in 1.3

Hi Mark,

I've tried to increase the memory heap to 512 Mb but my little linux 
almost died... However I've found the origin of the problem. The class I 
tested followed the steps of your wonderful tutorial, and I used the low 
score treshold of "0.1". With the new ScoreType System I got too many 
results for my motif (every base in the sequence), so too many features 
were created and the OutOutMemoryError was raised.
Now, for instance, I can put a treshold of 4000 (?) and I get some 
results (some of them with a probability higher than 5000 (?)... but I 
don't understand why probability scores are that high. Well, I will send 
to your home a beer truck if you can explain which probability is used 
for these score matrices ;-). Thanks,
