The current parsing code assumes that the required fields (ID, Number, Format, Description) will occur in a set orientation. My reading of the VCF spec is that this ordering is not required, although it's definitely a bit ambiguous:
This parsing issue shows up, in particular, in some of the VCFs from the newer high-coverage VCFs of the 1000GP samples. My updated parsing code allows these keys to occur in any order.
(I'm also pulling in some useful-looking warnings from Adam)
