I wrote a script that uses NCBIWWW.qblast and it worked last time I 
tried it (a few weeks ago) but this morning I get the following error 
message:

   File "tblastn.py", line 41, in tblastn
     result_handle = NCBIWWW.qblast("tblastn", "nr",  fas.seq.data)
   File 
"/root/biopython-1.49/build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/Bio/Blast/NCBIWWW.py", 
line 770, in qblast
   File 
"/root/biopython-1.49/build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/Bio/Blast/NCBIWWW.py", 
line 837, in _parse_qblast_ref_page
ValueError: A non-integer RTOE found in the 'please wait' page, ''


Does this sound like an ncbi error or like something I should be able 
to work around?  Thanks for the help!
