[Paraview] LSDynaReader interfering with my own reader

[Mike Jackson]

So,
    basically there is a bug where the LSDyna is outputting when it  
shouldn't.

Also this kinda sucks because say I am reading lots and lots of  
files, I have to deal with the overhead of failed read attempts by  
the LSDynaReader for every file? That seems like a problem to me.

Is it possible to add extensions to the LSDyna Files?
