[Bioperl-l] Possible bug in Bio::SeqIO::embl.pm

[Chris Fields]

Ill try getting to that ASAP (as well as a few bugs).  The problem is  
we have to patch this in 2-3 places (SeqIO::swiss, SeqIO::embl) due  
to repeated code issues, something I'm trying to rectify with a new  
set of parsers.  Just haven't had the time to work on them lately  
unfortunately.
