[Bioperl-l] gcg.pm, another comment

[Derek Gatherer]

Hello again

Thanks for the replies, I'll get down to some work on this soon I 
hope.  Meanwhile, I find that the following error is also thrown unpredictably,

gcg.pm line 137

    if(defined $chksum) {
        unless(_validate_checksum($sequence,$chksum)) {
            $self->throw("Checksum failure on parsed sequence.");
       }

By unpredictably, I mean that the same sequence may or may not throw this 
error.  Some sequences seem to be a little more prone to it, but with 
enough tries you can always get a sequence past it just by rerunning the 
code until it works...

Can I safely comment this out????  or is it an indication of something more 
deeply wrong at the heart of my OS (which is a Tru64 5.1B) ??

thanks
Derek
