[Bioc-sig-seq] scanBam segfault

Hello everybody,

scanBam() is reporting segfaults. I tried in two different machines,
with identical error reports.

Actually, I have four BAM files from which I am only reading in the
oligo sequences, nothing else. Two of them load fine but the other two
produce the error.

Loading fine: BAMs with 70887462 and 58162986 records
Loading with segfault: BAMs with 101611824 and 114530023

So, smaller are fine, bigger just crash.

Do you guys run into the same problem?

Thank you,

Ivan
