[EMBOSS] Digest and Pepstats crash using cygwin

[David Waner]

I have compiled the 3.0.0 release of Emboss (including all current fixes 
from the ftp site) for Windows XP using Cygwin version 1.88.  Most of 
the Emboss programs that I have tested work, but both Digest and 
Pepstats fail every time with a "Bad float conversion" error.  The 
problem does not seem to depend on the sequence data, and occurs on 
every file I've tried.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any solutions or suggestions 
would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Example: 

    C:> digest -sequence O43291.fa -menu 2 -auto
    Protein proteolytic enzyme or reagent cleavage digest
    Output report [spt2_human.digest]: stdout

       EMBOSS An error in ajarr.c at line 1701:
    Bad float conversion

Test data (O43291.fa):

 >swall|O43291|SPT2_HUMAN Kunitz-type protease inhibitor 2 precursor 
(Hepatocyte growth factor activator inhibitor type 2) (HAI-2) (Placental 
bikunin).
