When I ran it, it spun it's wheels for a long time (30+ minutes) and I
killed it.   I tried the analagous thing with bp_genbank2gff.pl and
had to kill it too.  I thought it was a problem with bioperl until
just now, when I tried it with an E coli chromosome from genbank and
it worked fine (it ran a couple of minutes).
