I'm not sure I understand this output.  It seems like this goes with
test_keywords, and the next error message goes with test_accessions.
However, the groupings of the lines seem to suggest otherwise.  Am I not
understanding things correctly?

Yep, this is definitely broken.  I've made the fixes and checked them into
CVS.

Yep, this fix too.

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on here.  When reporting values of
variables, try using the repr function.  This will output strings without
any character interpretation.

>>> a = 'hello world!\n'
>>> print repr(a)
'hello world!\012'
>>> 

Another things I've noticed from 095832 is that it has unusually
problematic database cross reference lines!  I guess that's why you chose
this entry.  I made some changes so the parser will handle these better.

I've also made some fixes so that the parser now strips the trailing
newlines at the end of some strings.

So when are you going to get write access so you can integrate your
testing code into the CVS tree?  :)
