Errors parsing plastid genbank records

Hi @gmbecker , currently I am attempting to parse a bunch of plastid genome records using genbankr. Thereby I am encountering recurring error messages and wonder wheter it is caused by a bug in genbankr or by wrong formatted GenBank Flat files. In the following I am listing three frequent error messages:

genbankr::readGenBank(genbankr::GBAccession("NC_033333"))
Error in `[[<-`(`*tmp*`, name, value = c("BWX36_gp082.1", "BWX36_gp082.1",  : 
  28 elements in value to replace 44 elements

genbankr::readGenBank(genbankr::GBAccession("NC_029719"))
Error in .Call2("solve_user_SEW0", start, end, width, PACKAGE = "IRanges") : 
  In range 13: at least two out of 'start', 'end', and 'width', must
  be supplied.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In FUN(X[[i]], ...) : NAs introduced by coercion
2: In FUN(X[[i]], ...) : NAs introduced by coercion

genbankr::readGenBank(genbankr::GBAccession("NC_017894"))
Error : subscript contains NAs

I would be very grateful if you could help me fix these problems. Thank you in advance and best wishes.
