Research direction

Reproduce the reported command using samtools mpileup piped to bcftools call with -T pointing to a .bcf file, comparing it with the stated .vcf.gz behavior. Start at bcftools call's -T target-file handling; done means the command no longer segfaults when the target file is BCF.

Here is what I am running:

samtools mpileup -t DP,DV,DP4,SP -g -f ../reference/ce10/ce10.fa -r chrI JU2464.bam | bcftools call -T ../individual_bcf/complete_variant_set.bcf --format-fields GQ,GP -c -v > ../group_bcf/raw.JU2464.chrI.group.bcf
[mpileup] 1 samples in 1 input files
<mpileup> Set max per-file depth to 8000
Segmentation fault

Results in a segmentation fault.
