Later on I actually noticed that Bio/Location/Split.pm contains this:

  sub to_FTstring {
      my ($self) = @_;
      my @strs;
      ....         
      my $str = sprintf("%s(%s)",lc $self->splittype, join(",", @strs));
  # for bug #1074 -- still investigating if this is ever needed
  # --jason
  #   if( $self->strand == -1 ) {
  #       $str = sprintf("complement(%s)",$str);
  #   }
  #   return $str;
  }

I didn't quite understand the problem that was solved by Jason's
outcommenting, but it does look weird, and I got rid of it. Things seem
towork now. Sorry for not consulting the bugzilla first.

mmm ... this doesn't appear to be part of BioPerl 1.0.2. Is it on CVS trunk
or branch? Cheers,
