Sorry, it was a problem with Bio::GenBank module.

To say more precisely, your file contained 2 entries in logic.
One is a genbank:AJ271885 and the other is empty entry.

This is a result from the first entry,

>> NoMethodError: undefined method `[]=' for nil:NilClass

and this is a error caused by the second entry.

What is the best interface for the empty or incomplete entry?
raise an exception? or just returns empty string?

  irb> gb = Bio::GenBank.new('')
  irb> p gb.naseq
  NoMethodError: undefined method `[]=' for nil:NilClass
