If any Picard / Samtools experts can help ... Ran into a picard sortSam libc / python error that is only showing up when launched within Galaxy - AND ONLY WITH SORT_ORDER="queryname" option. I run the same command line as the tool does, but as galaxy user on command line, it runs ok?! Is there some resource limit I need to raise or lower in Galaxy context? The server has tonnes of memory and cores.

After the crash, I get this at bottom of STDERR along with error message. But I presume this may only be a side-effect:

[bam_index_core] the alignment is not sorted (HWI-ST521:273:C4EH9ACXX:4:1101:10000:53458/1): 2632 > 1357 in 75-th chr [bam_index_build2] fail to index the BAM file.

since no such message occurs via command line invocation.

Advice greatly appreciated,

Damion

********************************************* Details...

Galaxy tool run: after a few minutes finally yields this on stderr:

Command line version:(Taken directly from Galaxy tool execution info; extract below shows with QUIET=false though I get same success with QUIET=true, and I loaded the right picard.jar path into JAVA_JAR_PATH)
