bedToBam removes last character from read names

bedToBam removes the last character from the read name. This happens in bedtools 2.29 and 2.28 but not in 2.27.1.

Can you provide a minimal example?

echo -e "1\t3000" > chrsize.tmp

echo -e "1\t1000\t2000\tread_name\t255\t+" | bedtools-2.29.0 bedtobam -i - -g chrsize.tmp | samtools view

read_nam 0 1 1001 255 1000M * 0 0 * *

echo -e "1\t1000\t2000\tread_name\t255\t+" | bedtools-2.27.1 bedtobam -i - -g chrsize.tmp | samtools view

read_name 0 1 1001 255 1000M * 0 0 * *

Thanks for reporting, likely a simple fix.
