[vtk-developers] Rare build freezes due to wrapper tool bug

After updating to modular, I noticed that sometimes my build would
freeze. It turns out that I had a file-buffering bug in the wrappers,
where anytime a backslash was the final char in my buffer, a lookahead
to the next character would result in an invalid read. Thank heavens
for valgrind.
The file that highlighted the bug was vtkStatisticsAlgorithm.h, it just
happens to have a backslash at the magic position. I've submitted
a patch for the wrappers.
Did anyone else notice similar freezes?
