[FieldTrip] problem reading 4d header

[jan-mathijs schoffelen]

Hi Nuria,

I cannot reproduce your problem on a linux machine we have here,  
running matlab 2010b (64-bit).
Either there is something wrong with your dataset (does it happen as  
well for another dataset?), or there is something different with  
respect to the configuration of your Linux machine.

Best,

Jan-Mathijs
