STAR Alignment for E. Coli: Segmentation Error

Question

[gt]

I have tried many different things to get this STAR alignment working for RNA-seq (E. coli). In building the reference genome I made sure to include "--genomeSAindexNbases 10" in my gene index code. Where ten is equal to min(14,log_2(4.6 million)/2 - 1) which is 10. This works fine and I am able to build the reference genome. However, when I run my alignment code

I have tried reducing the --genomeSAIndexNbases down to a smaller number but this is not solving the error. Anyone have any idea how to solve this issue? Any help appreciated.
