Read block operation failed with BAM file

I am trying to automate extracting data from an indexed BAM file and I am getting read errors:

[E::bgzf_read_block] Invalid BGZF header at offset 51686517456
[E::bgzf_read] Read block operation failed with error 2 after 0 of 4 bytes

This failure happens after about 12 hours of analysis, near the end of the 52GB BAM file:

$ ll HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam*
-rw-r--r-- 1 areynolds stamlab 51901713847 Jun 15 12:46 HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam
-rw-r--r-- 1 areynolds stamlab     7250712 Jun 15 12:59 HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam.bai

I ran samtools quickcheck on it, which reports no issues:

$ samtools quickcheck -vvv HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam
verbosity set to 3
checking HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam
opened HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam
HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam is sequence data
HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam has 25 targets in header.
HUDEP.control.DS182418.chr8.bam has good EOF block.

I can otherwise read data from it with manual samtools and pysam commands to random locations within the BAM file.

Remaking the BAM file might be an option but it is very time-consuming. I’d like to understand what went wrong, so I don’t have to remake files again.

Is that the only option or are there other tests and fixes I could apply, before this?
