[BioC] Trouble with getGEO retrieving dataset

[Saroj Mohapatra]

Hi friends,

I am having trouble parsing (it is not a download problem) some GEO 
datasets using GEOquery. First I was using R 2.4.1 (GEOquery 1.8.0), but 
the error could be reproduced using R 2.5.0 (GEOquery 2.0.3).

In the example below, I could parse dataset GDS1080, but not GDS1082.

Is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Saroj
