I've got some contigs from an assembly using ABySS that I want to align with a 
related genome. If I try running mauve I get the following:

The file "Ecl13047-contigs.fa" seems to be the culprit, but I can find no 
internal gap characters in any of the 4887 contigs. However, the sequences in 
the fasta are unwrapped (ABySS doesn't support wrapped fasta sequences in 
either input or output), and the longest such entry is 62225 bp. If I wrap the 
sequences at 80 characters/line -- and then clean up some inadvertantly wrapped 
definition lines that are also absurdly long -- mauve has no problems. Is there 
a maximum line length being assumed?

Thanks,
Guy
