That is odd. i've run that version of maker 30-40x at ebi lately and never
seen it. Is it just one scaffold? While i'd be surprised if it's the cause
but have you been playing with the file locking options Carson mentioned a
while back? I'd definitely be inclined to re-process it if it's just the
one scaffold.
