[Paraview] Tecplot reader error

Hi folks.

I ran into this problem recently with STRANDID/TIMESOLUTION as well. For my
files, they are automatically added even though there is no data for them.

 STRANDID=0, SOLUTIONTIME=0

A simple solution for me was to just eat up the token for them...

        if ( tok == "STRANDID" )
          {
          vtkErrorMacro( << this->FileName << "; Tecplot zone record
parameter "
                         << "'STRANDID' is currently unsupported." );
* **  this->Internal->GetNextToken();*
          }
        else
        if ( tok == "SOLUTIONTIME" )
          {
          vtkErrorMacro( << this->FileName << "; Tecplot zone record
parameter "
                         << "'SOLUTIONTIME' is currently unsupported." );
* **  this->Internal->GetNextToken();*
          }

and it'll just continue as if nothing was going on. Otherwise, the loop
exits the zone area and gives you a ton of errors.
