What computer and OS are you using? Which parameters did you use in the
configure script for nab?

This is odd, since "132d" is the name of files from the nucleic acid test
case, not the bpti one. How did you "run the bpti test", and did it work
when it was run from the "make test" script?

My rough suspicion is that the "reduce" program (which is a relatively new
addition to shifts, and has not probably been tested on as many platforms)
may be failing for you. Take a look at the "reduce.info" file to see if there
are any clues there.
