Fix random crashes with "Internal error in align function" #3

Fix rare random crashes with "Internal error in align function" from region() in align.cc. Possibly related to reading of input data. Seems to appear only when running from a script and not interactively.

Unable to reproduce this bug until now. However, the error message did appear today when a very long protein sequence was compared to itself (it should have had a score of 65542). The bug probably appears when the actual alignments having a score above 65535 are produced (in align.cc) and an incorrect (16-bit) score have initially been computed.
