problem processing dbd/ebd #4

Hi

I'm having problems processing the attached data. Various spurious values are present in the dbdreader data when compared to the asci generated by win_dbd2asc.exe.

This is not the case for the example amadeus data which I am able to reproduce just fine.

Are my files malformed in some way dbdreader does not expect?

dbd = dbdreader.MultiDBD(pattern = "*.[ed]bd")
t, temp = dbd.get('sci_water_temp', return_nans = True')

It turned out that the C-extension opened the files as fp = fopen(filename, "r"); which runs fine on linux systems, but on windows, the open call should be instructed specifically that the file is to be opened in binary mode. This is fixed in version 0.4.7.

Thank you for reporting the issue.
