[IGSTK-Users] Error in Release mode, not in Debug mode

[Patrick Cheng]

Hi Tamas,

Thanks for reporting the bug. This bug has just been fixed. The problem 
is with the TrackerToolObserverToOpenIGTLinkRelay class.

"Uninitialized variable m_FramesPerSecond, causing failure in release 
mode in Visual C++, as all uninitialized memory are set to zero in 
release mode"

Please follow this link to see the fix:
