invalid literal for int() with base error

[LHG-GG]

Hi,
Great work on automated centromere annotation. the tool works well with the testdataset.

But I encountered the "invalid literal for int() with base" error while running hicat on chm13 chr18 centromere region. below is the command:
hicat -i chr18.fa -t AlphaSat.fa -th 50

the full error is:
