Hi Nathan:

  (punchline:  the newly compiled SUSE m64 binaries seem to work)

  Using the version I just put up at my site, and using the -n switch on
the formatdb gives me this for the blastall run:

In short, it appears to work, though I need to compare this to the same
run I have done by hand a while ago.  If you want my test cases (and
scripts), send me an email offline, and I will give you a pointer to
them.
