Summary:                    Memory Leak in the following code
Description: 
vtkDataReader.cxx has a memory leak here: 'decoded' is allocated but never
deleted. Line 1749 of the git version.

    else 
      {    
      // read in newline
      vtkStdString s;
      my_getline(*(this->IS), s);

      for (int i=0; i<numTuples; i++) 
        {    
        for (int j=0; j<numComp; j++) 
          {    
          my_getline(*(this->IS), s);
          int length = static_cast<int>(s.length());
          char* decoded = new char[length + 1];
          int decodedLength = this->DecodeString(decoded, s.c_str());
          vtkStdString decodedStr(decoded, decodedLength);
          ((vtkStringArray*)array)->InsertNextValue(decodedStr);
          }    
        }    
      }
