Ross, UCSC reports that this query is truncated, but the error message provided by Galaxy in these cases is pretty worthless. I have changed the error reported by Galaxy in this case to hopefully be more informative than just dashed lines. Let me know if you have another sugestion. The change is live in the test.g2.

When I use the Table Browser proxy in Galaxy to import data on "GC content in 5bp intervals", I get the data I want (in wiggle format). However, the information associated with the query in Galaxy says: 3: UCSC: gc5Base (chr16:1-500000) error, format: wig, database: hg17 Info: Errors: (line 100010)----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- (line 100013)----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- <br>UCSC: gc5Base (chr16:1-500000)

As far as I can tell, the data are there and are OK (it converts from wiggle to BED OK, and the expected 100,000 lines are present).

It is disconcerting to users to get the error message.
