Sure I could probably step up to the plate on that one. I haven't reported it to NCBI - it didn't twig that this was an exit code > 0 . I'll sneak it into BOSC codefest maybe! d.

We had something similar before: Error: (1431.1) FASTA-Reader: Warning: FASTA-Reader: Ignoring FASTA modifier(s) found because the input was not expected to have any. In that case the NCBI fixed it, see https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast/issues/40 Did you (or Keith Bradnam) report this to the NCBI? In the short term we can probably tweak the regex so that these "Error: *: Warning: *" lines on stderr are not treated as errors? Do you fancy working on this? Peter
