[vtkusers] Problems with the EnSight6Binary Reader

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Doug,

	The only reason the new would fail is that the value is misread and in 
your case my guess is that is must be way too big (could you confirm by 
doing a print on the actual value).

	Here are your alternatives: 1. try to see if VTK CVS solves this isses, 
or 2. you'll have to send us your dataset so I can find the problem.

Thanks
Mathieu
