Good Morning Davide:

It is not a buffer problem from stdin.  You would encounter
the same problem reading from a file.  I'm guessing you
are getting an out of memory condition while running
wigToBigWig.  The program consumes an immense amount of
memory while it works.  Many 10s of Gb of memory for
large wiggle files.  You will need to have a large memory
machine to convert large wiggle files.

I'll run some measurements here to see if I can get
a clue on the maximum amount of memory.

Subject: [Genome] wigToBigWig buffer size

Hi all, is there a buffer size for stdin reading in wigToBigWig? How much is it?

Thanks
