[Bioc-devel] BUG? rtracklayer import.bed on a connection hangs

[Cook, Malcolm]

I find that 

	x<-import (pipe("head my.bed"),'bed')

succeeds, thank you very much ;)

whereas both of the following

	x<-import.bed(pipe("head my.bed"))

	x<-import.bed(pipe("head my.bed"),'base',TRUE)

hang, never returning and using CPU ;(

Is there a difference I am not appreciating, or is this a BUG?

Thanks,
