[BioC] Trouble with getGEO retrieving dataset

[smohapat at vbi.vt.edu]

Sean:

Thanks for fixing the bug so promptly. I observed something new using
GEOquery 2.0.4. Parsing is fine, but it pauses with a "Browse[1]>". I hit
enter and it moves on. I do not know why it halts, and I was planning to
use the getGEO call as part of a script, not interactive. Is there anyway
we could circumvent this?

Thanks,

Saroj
