[Keith Anthony Boroevich]

hi,
i am running looped stand alone blast of 88 100pb sequences and around 
the 80th or so sequence i recieve the error...

this however is only my testing set and i will "hopefully" be running 
hundreds to thousands of 100bp sequences through this.  Any suggestions 
would be gratly appriciated
