Thanks, I works with the patch but it cuts my accession number.
So, it must be better to change
$temp_line = sprintf("%-11.10sstandard; $mol; $div; %d BP.", $seq->id(), 
$len);
with 
$temp_line = sprintf("%-10s standard; $mol; $div; %d BP.", $seq->id(), $len);
as reported at the end of the bur report.

I hope it will be fixed automatically in the 1.5 BioPerl release !
