I've run my test script (attachment 1209) on a Linux machine with Python 2.5

 5.5K Jan 30 10:29 CY029873.gbk

The last two files are WGS data for protein and nucleotide sequences,
downloaded from ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/genbank/wgs/ then unzipped and a gbk
extension added so my script parses them.

With and without the patch the test script gives identical output - which
appears to confirm the location parsing is not functionally altered.  The
timings where just over 2min and just over 8min with and without the patch (a
four fold speed up on this dataset).
