[vtkusers] vtkVRMLImporter problem solved

Hi,
I use the following configuration for tests with the vtkVRMLImporter:
- SuSE Linux 7.0 and 7.1
- Kernel 2.2.18

My tests with the vtkVRMLImporter failed (see email some days ago):
Small point values (less than 1.0, e.g. 0.1234) were set to zero while importing
data. This caused small objects to disappear. In contrast, the tests worked fine
on WindowsNT.

Solution:
This error can be solved by setting the RC_LANG-variable in rc.config to "C" to
switch the language to english (most people use this setting by default, but I
didn't):
RC_LANG = "C"

Do the importer use some language dependend functions to tranform strings to
doubles or vice versa? This would explain the problems (0,0234 in German <>
0.0234 in other languages).

Bye,
Tom
