getting multiple "print() on closed filehandle TMPOUT" messages

i'm seeing multiple messages like this during Taxonomy step

print() on closed filehandle TMPOUT at /path/to/annotater/Reann.pm line 275, <IN> line 17

which is followed by this exception:

------------- EXCEPTION -------------

This happens when using a tilde for user home directory in config file for path to blast database. Example:

~/path/to/viral.1.1.genomic.fna
