[Bioperl-l] Error retrieving sequence from BioSQL

It doesn't shed more light but it does raise an alert flag. All tests  
are supposed to pass. The fact that they don't means the problems you  
are seeing have nothing to do with your specific data or script.

First off - can anyone else confirm those errors using the latest  
Bioperl-db and Bioperl?

Second - Seth could you run those tests individually, e.g., using

	$ make test test_02species TEST_VERBOSE=1

and similarly for the other tests that have failures and post the  
output. Let's start with 02species and 03simpleseq.
