[Bioperl-l] problem with trunc_with_features (SeqUtils.pm)

[Roy Chaudhuri]

Hi Heath, Frank,

This was probably my fault back in the mists of time. Looks like an easy 
fix though, I've reported the issue on Redmine and submitted a patch:
https://redmine.open-bio.org/issues/3339

We should probably also add Heath's example as a test case.

Cheers,
Roy.
