Your fastq file is not conforming to readFastq's expectations, probably
reading say a quality string or identifier and thinking it should be
reading a DNA sequence. Maybe there's a missing carriage return or other
problem? Also, readFastq handles files as specified in ?readFastq and in
particular expects a fastq record to consist of exactly four lines. If
fastq files in a different format are being produced, then I'll take the
opportunity to update ShortRead.
