Hi Sri,

It turns out that the data contributor changed the contents of the 
"otherSize" column.  For hg19, it is otherSize - otherEnd.  For hg18, it 
contains the size of the chromosome listed in the "otherChrom" field. 
(In general, total chromosome size is useful for converting coordinates 
from one strand to the other, so it would be useful to have it in the 
table.)

The description of the otherSize column 
(http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTables?db=hg18&hgta_group=varRep&hgta_track=genomicSuperDups&hgta_table=genomicSuperDups&hgta_doSchema=describe+table+schema)
 
matches the contents of the hg19 table, but is incorrect for the hg18 
table.  Thank you for pointing out the discrepancy!  I have reported the 
bug to our engineers.
