Error in gtf2bed

[zebasilio]

Hi

I am trying to convert a gtf to a bed file but I am always getting this error message:

$gtf2bed < genes.gtf > genes.gtf.bed

*** Error in `convert2bed': realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000001337f60 ***
/home/jose/bin/gtf2bed: line 122: 16784 Aborted                 (core dumped) ${cmd} ${options} - 0<&0

I am using version:  2.4.24

Thanks for your help. José

Can you please send me a copy of your GTF file? (If you can post it publicly.) Also, can you please describe your host environment? Thanks!
