mafft hangs at 100% CPU for over a week

The "mafft" program hangs waiting for "disttbfast" to exit, but in some cases "disttbfast" does not exit after many days. This problem only seems to occur with a particular alignment of virus sequences:

/usr/bin/mafft --inputorder --adjustdirection --thread 4 --auto phygo.Spbetalikevirus.backbone.seqs
