add check for empty fasta header #1467

Closed glennhickey closed 3 months ago

glennhickey commented 3 months ago

I was trying to reproduce the lastz failure from #1466 by adding a sequence like

>
ACACACACCAC

to the FASTA. lastz seems to support this okay by inventing its own sequence name for it, but it crashes downstream in consolidated.

Anyway, this patches the fasta checker to through an error right away in this case. But I don't think helps at all with the original issue.
