[Koha] Something new with bulkmarcimport.pl

[Stephen Hedges]

Andro, I've forgotten what Koha version you are using.  The Biblio.pm line
numbers you list don't match my (2.2.4) Biblio.pm.

In any case, I would guess that you have some MARC records in the file
that have errors.  There is another script in the intranet/scripts/misc
directory called dumpmarc.pl that will simply list out your MARC file. But
with 1500+ records, it wouldn't be much fun looking for stray errors!  You
could also use this script to find the title of the last record in the
file.  Do a search on that title and the Biblionumber on the screen should
equal the number of records in your catalog -- assuming you haven't yet
been doing any deleting of records.
