[Bioperl-l] somethin' strange about RootI

[Jason Stajich]

There are some funky things going on with
translate and the can_call_new routine I believe.
I have not been able to pinpoint what specifically is happening but I have
seen this on a UNIX box as well.  I'll make sure some variant of the below
code makes it into the tests.

The next few weeks the bioperl code is going to be in transition and we're
going to try really hard to check in code that works, and pass all the
tests, but bugs happen.

Volunteers for more tests writing are definitely welcome if you don't want
to get into the code rewrite fray.
