Hi David,

Line 1184334 is the last line of the GFF3 file and contains '###'. There
used to be code to ignore lines like these:

+ next if $line =~ /^#/;

When the script moved to use ensembl-io I think it may have lost this
check, however I would expect ensembl-io to handle the '###'. Which species
files worked? I checked on NCBI and other species (e.g. horse) would also
fail in the same way.
