[Bioperl-l] Re: [Bioperl-guts-l] [Bug 1720] New: Bug in Bio::SeqFeature::Generic.pm DESTROY causes object corruption.. fix included!

[Aaron J. Mackey]

Probably because the offending code in get_tag_values doesn't check for 
defined($hash{$key}) but just exists($hash{$key}) (and then merrily 
tries to dereference it as an array).  It's a bug in BioPerl, to be 
sure, but not as mystical as it seems.
