[Bioperl-l] Bio::Restriction::Analysis. Exception when using rebasefile.

Rasmus et al-

This looks like a bug. A quick debug shows it's barfing on 'AarI' (as it cycles 
through
all enzymes apparently creating a global cut map). AarI has a recognition 
sequence of

CACCTGC (in $enz->seq->seq)

but a cut site of

CACCTGCNNNN^ (in $enz->seq->site)

The bad parm '11' refers to the end of the cut site sequence, but the routine
B:R:Analysis::_cuts is attempting to split the 7-symbol recognition sequence,
and so throws.

This surprises me. Core, let me know if you want me to take this on, or
if the module author can fix it quicker.

cheers,
Mark
