The t/data files are fine.

Also the largest file (full_2_psi1.xml) from release 2006-09-19 of the
MINT [1] database does not produce the crash.  It has a new warning, however:

   Can't call method "text" on an undefined value at
   /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/Bio/Network/IO/psi.pm line 290.

"ps ux" tells me VSZ = 272788 and RSZ = 254992. This is on x86-64 with
64 bit perl.  The box has 2 GB of physical memory so these numbers
don't seem to be a concern.

Do'h! You have the list address loud and clear in three places, but I got
your contact info from the AUTHORS.  Will use the proper channel from now
on!

Thanks,
