I'm sorry. I've only seen the message of another person reporting
this, but nothing about a possible fix.

That was my initial guess, but I've been lazy and changed the code in
ITK, rather than looking for the best solution.

Ok, nice to know. For the moment I've commented out the lines in ITK,
but I know it is not the best solution.

at it carefully and make the changes in SNAP only.
