Hi,

I had a blat issue that is really interesting. Running blat to generate
blast like report on a query, I get the best alignment with 2e-09.
However, running the same query and reference, using blast8 as the
output (tabular results), I see the alignment results with 4.4e-216!

Is there something I missed here? I used the default blat command.
Attached are the query and reference for you to reproduce the results:
$ blat w.db w -out=blast w.b
$ blat w.db w -out=blast8 w.b8

$ cat w.b
BLASTN 2.2.11 [blat]
