At least 2 bugs here. Firstly, with more than one sequence as input, some 
internal values were not fully reset. Also the word size is used (as 2) before 
it is set to 1.

For 8 Serines in this set I am still only getting one hit out of two. A little 
more investigation needed ... I am getting closer :-)
