Hello, when using classify.otu in version 1.27.0, a period seems to be missing before the “cons” in the output file names (it was there in previous versions). Is this a bug?

```nohighlight
Linux version

Running 64Bit Version

mothur v.1.27.0
Last updated: 8/8/2012

...

mothur > classify.otu(list=tick.otu.unique.an.list, name=tick.otu.names, taxonomy=tick.otu.rdp.taxonomy.80, label=0.03, cutoff=80)
reftaxonomy is not required, but if given will keep the rankIDs in the summary file static.
0.03 2166

Output File Names: 
tick.otu.unique.an.0.03cons.taxonomy
tick.otu.unique.an.0.03cons.tax.summary

```

Thanks,  
Daniel
