[Insight-developers] today's ITK using today's GDCM has failing unit tests

[Sean McBride]

Hi Mathieu and others,

If I use today's ITK from CVS and today's GDCM from svn (r6469) and
build ITK using that GDCM (all in Debug), several ITK unit tests fail. 
Specifically:

	954 - itkAnalyzeIOBigEndian (SEGFAULT)
	951 - itkAnalyzeIOBigEndianCompressed.hdr (SEGFAULT)
	955 - itkAnalyzeIOLittleEndianCompressed (SEGFAULT)
	956 - itkAnalyzeIOLittleEndian (SEGFAULT)
	957 - itkAnalyzeIOInternalTests (SEGFAULT)
	965 - itkNiftiIOBigEndianCompressed.hdr (SEGFAULT)
	969 - itkNiftiIOLittleEndianCompressed (SEGFAULT)
	968 - itkNiftiIOBigEndian (SEGFAULT)
	970 - itkNiftiIOLittleEndian (SEGFAULT)
	971 - itkNiftiIOInternalTests (SEGFAULT)
	1000 - itkGDCMImageIOTest1 (SEGFAULT)
	1001 - itkGDCMImageIOTest2 (SEGFAULT)


The reason is that GDCM is asserting.  Some examples:

Assertion failed: (0), function InverseRescale, file /Volumes/Leopard/
Users/sean/kitware/GDCM/trunk/Source/MediaStorageAndFileFormat/
gdcmRescaler.cxx, line 321.

Is this news or a known issue?
