Hi David,
This is definitely an issue on NCBI's side. For some reason, trying to pull
the entire record is causing an error, but you can get the entire record
minus one residue:

https://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/efetch.fcgi?db=nuccore&id=NC_003197.2&seq_start=1&seq_stop=4857449&rettype=gb&retmode=text

It's not restricted to your record either, it seems like anything large is
causing the issue. Anyway, your work around is to use the seq_stop keyword
and ask for one fewer residue than the length of the record.
Maybe you want to let the folks at Entrez know?
