[Bioperl-l] Too many links at LoadHelper.pm

When I was working through those issues (I was having problems with
Bio::DB::Sam causing tempfiles to be released before they were finished
with) I paid quite close attention to having a clean /tmp after running
tests, so I pretty confident that my modules are working with
Bio::Root::IO properly and that Bio::Root::IO is working properly with
them.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.
