Thanks Andreas, but this patch will not solve the issue.  The following
commands also crashes bwa:

    bwa bwtupdate - < <(echo AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

    bwa bwtupdate <(echo AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)

The problem is: the command expects a bwa index in an old format (let's call it
0.5), and will convert it to the latest version (let's call it 0.6).

What would be neded here is some code that checks that the input is really in
the expected format, and gracefully returns an appropriate error message.
Needless to say, I do not know the magic number for bwa indexes version 0.5.
The change of index format happened in 2011.

So I recommend to keep this bug closed :)

Cheers,
