I had BioPerl from SVN circa 1.6.1 (not sure if this was before
or after the release of 1.6.1 now):

$ perl -MBio::Root::Version -e 'print $Bio::Root::Version::VERSION,"\n"'
1.0069
$ perl -MBio::SeqIO -e 'print $Bio::SeqIO::VERSION,"\n"'
1.0069

If the tuples mean anything to you:

$ perl -MBio::Root::Version -e 'printf "%vd\n", $Bio::Root::Version::VERSION'
49.46.48.48.54.57
$ perl -MBio::SeqIO -e 'printf "%vd\n", $Bio::SeqIO::VERSION'
49.46.48.48.54.57

I just updated to revision 16435, and retested. I get the same
BioPerl version numbers, and the same extra blank line in the
sequence FASTQ output as Dan reported.
