Uchime issues with 1.42.1?

I have 2 jobs running on the cluster. Both died at uchime with no error in mother. I also write an error file. one job says 48063 Bus error. The other begins:

*** Error in `mothur': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0000000001935e90 ***

this is the first set of jobs I’ve run since they upgraded to mothur 1.42.1

We had a bug in the count table remove functions that is causing this issue. It has been fixed in version 1.42.3. Can you give it a try, https://github.com/mothur/mothur/releases/tag/v.1.42.3?

sorry, was away. I’ve asked for the update and will give it another shot!

also failing with 1.42.3 at

That’s the end of the logfile. Here’s the top of the error log that I had sbatch write

I’ve been having trouble with the chimera step in 1.42.3 also - I accidentally posted about it in a different section: Pre.cluster error in 1.42.0
