ValueError: max() arg is an empty sequence

Hi Dave,

I try to genotype around 1.7k samples with svtools. lsort worked but, I can not do lmerge step.

I keep having this following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I have run several individual without any issues，but there were issues with these 1.7k samples.

If you can give me any idea to solve this problem, it would be awesome.

Best,
