Title: trying to fix all the forking

In the previous implementation of the target, we asked mysql to spit all its sequence identifiers (GIs) out to STDOUT which we then piped into the script that fetches amino acid sequences. This unfortunately resulted in a mysterious proliferation of forked, defunct processes. In the new implementation we first redirect mysql's output into a text file and read from that.
