Thanks Hilmar. I already understood the BS-defs/BS-defs-local situation,
that was why I was surprised to find two scripts still referring to
BS-defs to load constants when all the others were referring to
BS-defs-local instead.

Mark found one other potential problem - we're not sure if this should
be fixed or not. When loading Genbank records, we hit a record with a
very large open reading frame translation stored as one peptide, which
was too big to fit in the appropriate column. The column failing was
bioentry_qualifer_value.value, which when expanded to 300 characters in
length was able to store it. Not sure if this should be changed in
BioSQL or not?
