[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#653042: segfault in mpileup when alignment is outside of the ref

[Don Armstrong]

Package: samtools
Version: 0.1.18-1
Severity: important
Tag: patch

If a read is aligned outside of the reference (possibly due to
reference mismatch or truncation), samtools mpileup will segfault. It
should instead warn, and continue on. The attached patch fixes this.

"Ban cryptography! Yes. Let's also ban pencils, pens and paper, since
criminals can use them to draw plans of the joint they are casing or
even, god forbid, create one time pads to pass uncrackable codes to
each other. Ban open spaces since criminals could use them to converse
with each other out of earshot of the police. Let's ban flags since
they could be used to pass secret messages in semaphore. In fact let's
just ban all forms of verbal and non-verbal communication -- let's see
those criminals make plans now!"
