Hi Dror,

that's unexpected, I cannot think of a reason why that should be so,
other than a bug. Would you mind sending some debugging info? For
example, you could do:

samtools view test.bam | awk '{print and($2,0x4)}' | sort | uniq -c

and if that does not reveal anything, could you send us qualities from
all three outputs (samtools view ... | cut -f2 | gzip -c > out.gz )?

Thanks,
petr
