One of my colleagues encountered a similar-sounding error on our local test instance, where an unsorted BAM file seemed to crash the Galaxy handler processes and prevented them from restarting.
In our case the default samtools version in the Galaxy environment was 0.1.18; we found that updating this to samtools 1.2 fixed the crash problem.
Ah! That does sound familiar. As I just replied in another message, we seem to have at least 5 versions of samtools in the system. I'm not sure if that is normal or not for a Galaxy instance... Let me see if I can figure out (through logs, but most likely by asking the user) what tool he was using and figure out which samtools executable was being run. If it is 0.1.18, I'll look into update it...thank you for sharing your colleague's experience! Ray
