[Bioperl-l] Error while indexing whole genbank

[guillermo]

Hello,

I am trying to index the whole of genbank nucleotide (release number  
156, October 15 2006), with the script (which uses Bio::Index::GenBank)  
that is attached at the end of this message the process crashes  with  
this error message:

sdbm store returned -1, errno 9, key "BF460808" at  
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Bio/Index/Abstract.pm line 714,  
<GenBank> line 164732819.

why could this be?

Thanks,
Guillermo
