"It's not a bug, it's a feature"

As it has been there since SRS 5.0 (at least) requres changes to the C
source code (so that PIR format behaves the same way as EMBL) it will have
to wait for a future release.

Meanwhile, the plain fix will work well enough - some software may want a
trailing '*' but probably most programs will be happy.
