[ITK] [ITK-users] Using ImageFileReader iteratively

[Matt McCormick]

Hi Gib,

It may be related to what is happening in "...".

Try

  im2->DisconnectPipeline();

after

  im2 = reader->GetOutput();

This will disassociate the output image from the reader object, and
the reader will create a new output image in the next iteration of the
loop.

HTH,
Matt
