[Bioperl-l] Error retrieving sequence from BioSQL

I'll try to run some additional tests on WinXP to confirm this, but  
it won't be until tomorrow.  I don't see this on Mac OS X, though.

My recollection was that I needed to run 'nmake install' before  
running 'nmake test' to get tests to work properly on WinXP, but I  
haven't done it in a while.
