Bioperl can't process an EMBL formatted file containing the entry
MIATGENB from EMBL (accession number Y08502). One gets errors like

  -------------------- WARNING ---------------------
  MSG: unable to parse location successfully out of
  complement(Y08501:146990..147048), ignoring feature (seqid=MIATGENB)
  ---------------------------------------------------
  -------------------- WARNING ---------------------
  MSG: unable to parse location successfully out of
  complement(Y08501:143219..143477), ignoring feature (seqid=MIATGENB)
  ---------------------------------------------------
  Can't call method "location" on an undefined value at
  /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Bio/SeqIO/FTHelper.pm line 136,
  <GEN0> chunk 506.

Removing all features which refer to another entry
("complement(Y08501:146990..147048)") solves the problem and makes
bioperl happy.
