[FieldTrip] bdf files persisting in memory?

[Vladimir Litvak]

Dear Bill,

This might be a memory leek in the low-level mex file. It seems that
the code for this file is available so it can be fixed. I'm CCing this
to the Fieldtrip list and I'll also submit a bug report to Fieldtrip
developers.

Best,

Vladimir
