Hi Mike,

Sorry to hear about the trouble.  One possible cause of this symptom is an 
index file (.bam.bai) that is out of sync with the bigDataUrl bam file.  For 
example, if the bam file is changed, but the .bam.bai file is not regenerated 
(samtools index my.bam), then the byte offsets in the stale .bam.bai point to 
incorrect locations in the bam data, and the resulting coordinates from the 
query are garbage so no items are found in range.  

If that doesn't explain your case, please send me a URL off-list so I can try 
to duplicate the problem and debug.  

Hope that helps,
Angie
