Cannot get an accession from GenBank when I know it is there

I'm using Bio::DB::GenBank to query GenBank and I'm certain that the id is there but I'm seeing the error MSG: acc does not exist. This bug in versions 1.2 and 1.2.1, but it is fixed in 1.2.2. Either upgrade to 1.2.2 or higher, or edit the module Bio::DB::GenBank and change protein to nucleotide in the BEGIN block.
