Here's the email I got from NCBI. I didn't hear quite as much "Sorry for
breaking your script without changing the formatdb docs." as I would like,
but it is free software after all. (It falls under the "paid for by my tax
dollars" definition of free.)

Hello,
You can ignore those messages. No .formatdbrc file is needed.
Best regards,
