124+ * ** v.1.3:** 2016-09-23:
125+ * Make parsing of STAMP specific TRANSFAC file more robust.
126+ Before this change STAMP only processes TRANSFAC files
127+ correctly when they looked exactly like this:
128+ - motif starts with tag "DE motif_name".
129+ - "DE" tag is directly followed by matrix lines
130+ (no "P0" or "PO" tag allowed).
131+ - matrix lines are directly followed by a "XX" tag line.
132+ - if other tags are present between "DE" and matrix lines or between matrix
133+ lines and "XX", STAMP adds for each of those lines "0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0"
134+ to the matrix (which was wrong).
