Malloc error when using extra tags in fastq header #70

Dear developers, I got this error when using falco on a single fastq sequence with extra tags in the header. Example:

@794098d5-67f5-4d93-a3a5-a19d3bf4e2d4   MN:i:1119

[running falco|                                                   |  0%]malloc(): invalid size (unsorted)
/nfs/scratch01/bi/mop4/27/f873aa32cd2be99c05869c27783d9e/.command.sh: line 4:    16 Aborted                 (core dumped)

Once I remove the extra tags it goes fine.

Best, Luca
