Fair enough. I thought it might have been sufficient to post updates to
the upstream tracker since the bug was marked as forwarded.

Thanks.

As a quick update (also posted to the upstream tracker), some changes in
blasr 5's handling of SAM/BAM files is causing the main problems now.
Fixing it in pbhoney would require some more intrusive changes, which I
could probably handle, but I don't think it would be a good idea to
proceed without upstream's cooperation on this. It's possible that
pbsuite will not be released with Stretch because of this.

Thanks and regards
Afif
