Now I see. The DESTROY in IO.pm wasn't executed because it came
second in multiple inheritance, right? Does this mean that a
DESTROY method is potentially harmful in RootI.pm? Not good, even
though we don't need it yet. So, assuming my guess of the reason
is right, can we add a method _io_cleanup() (or whatever name, but
not a very common one) to IO.pm, and in RootI.pm a DESTROY method
that calls $self->_io_cleanup() if $self->can('_io_cleanup').

Not very clean though. Just an idea. My feeling is that the
requirement of keeping DESTROY out of RootI.pm calls for trouble.

Exactly. (Hoping that the bugs are rather not in the BioPerl code;
otherwise we'll do a quick 0.7.1 :-)
