Hi Carson,

Sorry to bother you again because I really can't find a solution to
it. Have you seen this error before? I simply started multiple jobs in
the same directory and got the following msg after hours of running.

>From Admin:
"Your batch job 2511011 encountered the following error:
   open3: fork failed: Cannot allocate memory
   ERROR: Failed while polishig ESTs
   ERROR: Chunk failed at level:2, tier_type:2
   FAILED CONTIG:scaffold740
It continued generating errors in a loop until the /var filesystem filled.
I will cancel the job.  You may find it useful within your job script to
check for errors and exit if present."

And this is not because of lack of memory since this job has exclusive
access to the node. Let me know if you want the entire stderr file.
Thanks.
