[BioPython] GenBank.NCBIDictionary broken?

Sometime in the past few weeks GenBank.NCBIDictionary seems to have stopped 
working.  Typical traceback follows.

I don't see anything promising in the CVS heads.  This may be a problem in 
Bio.db or EUtils, I suppose.  Does anyone have more information about this.

Any ideas about where one would start digging around?


 >>> from Bio import GenBank
 >>> gb = GenBank.NCBIDictionary('nucleotide','fasta')
 >>> gb['28201044']
Traceback (most recent call last):
