Well, I managed to figure things out. The problem was apparently
caused by keywords in genbank extending over more than one line. The patch
to genbank.sdl suggested by Janice Coventry earlier in this newsgroup
solved the problem. Funny though that a misread keyword somehow ends up
interfering with the entry name in a completely different file. But I
suppose that if you carefully comb the code it all makes sense.
Cheers,
Martin
