[Bioc-devel] Resource temporarily unavailable error with rtracklayer

[Charles Plessy]

Hello,

a user of the CAGEr package reported an error that occurs when it calls 
the `export.bw` function of rtracklayer:

rsession: 1730343 1730344 doesn't intersect 1892288 1899678, chromId 6 
chromSize 5022195: Resource temporarily unavailable
Error in isSingleString(path) : UCSC library operation failed
In addition: Warning message:
In isSingleString(path) : Internal error ucsc/bbiWrite.c 414

This is triggered by a GRanges object that has 236595 lines and 13304 
seqlevels.  My attempts to bisect the object to find a defective line 
did not succeed; but it seems important that I keep most of the contents 
to trigger the error.  I therefore wonder if the problem is either the 
number of lines or the number of seqlevels.

Not being very familiar with the BigWig format and the internals of 
rtracklayer, I am a bit lost.

Can somebody suggest me a way to solve the problem ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
