I don't remember seeing a reference line for "composition-based 
statistics" before.

Could you send us the command line you are using (i.e. what options did 
you give to BLASTALL).

We would probably also need to the the output file.  If it is very 
large, could you create a smaller one (e.g. different input) which shows 
the same problem?

If you like, you could submit a bug report, and then attach the blast 
output file to it (this saves emailing a large file to everyone on the 
list).

It looks like you are using Linux.  We would also like to know which 
version of BioPython you are using (1.41 maybe?).

Thank you

Peter
