[EMBOSS] Problems retrieving from uniprot by id

[David Martin]

Using EMBOSS 2.8.0 I am trying to retrieve from Uniprot by ID without
success. This is using the Swissprot

I have indexed appropriately ( using fields as described on the emboss
documentation.)

I can retrieve by accession number but cannot retrieve the same sequence by
id. 

I have run the program with -debug and get the following:

It might be an 'off by one' error in the  search or the indexing.
searching for tfz_human behaves appropriately.
