Hi John,

I looked at the dataset. It is indeed a bug. It is not clear to me where the
bug is though. Despite having those checkboxes, the reader is not producing
those arrays. You can verify this by looking at the data information under
the Information tab of the object inspector. This may be a bug in the reader
or a bug in the file itself (i.e. non-compliance to the format). Did you
generate this data?
