Thanks Peter,

the upstream issue tracker already contains a pull request for alignment issues
in sam.c: https://github.com/samtools/htslib/pull/99

Would you have time to see with Upstream if your patch is superior to the pull
request, and if they would be willing to accept it ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
