loadFCS fails with ValueError: empty string for 'float'

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. for f in glob.glob('*fcs'):
    try:
        fcm.io.loadFCS(f)
    except Exception, e:
        print f, e
2. where fcs directory is /Volumes/HD2/data/flow/cvc_ics/Lab07
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The following files give the same error:
ICS2D1S1R1lab07.fcs empty string for float()
