Hello all,

When running samtools sort to sort a large number of bam files using the 
following line:

> samtools sort -T sorting -O bam -o $outfile $infile


I get the following error messages printed to the screen:

> [bam_sort_core] merging from 2 files...
> [bam_translate] PG tag "A" on read "1_1101_10360_49339_1" encountered with no 
> corresponding entry in header, tag lost

The number of reads appears to remain the same between the sorted/unsorted 
bams. Can anyone give any insight into what this means?

Many thanks

Mark
