I've been working on it for the last hour or two, and I agree. I'll see if I
can't correct that.

No, I didn't. I rewrote my script to manually create and delete file
handles, but it still crashes with the same error at the system() command.
Don't know why this command would consume file resources...

That is ultimately what I did. Now I'm in the process of trying to get
BPbl2seq to read multiple records in the output, or I guess I'll write a
mini-parser to present the file one record at a time.

Enjoy.
