[Kst] Sparse Ascii data

[Ben Lewis]

Hi Peter,

Something seems to have broken since you added the ASCII config option "Interpret empty values as: 
Null, NaN, Previous value"

The 2013.11.20 build works fine for me but 2013.11.28 and 2013.12.01 builds do not work.

When I try to open a CSV file I get all vectors full of zeros or NaNs depending on which option I 
select.

Also, all the ASCII config settings are sticky now even when I don't select "Apply these settings as 
default"

Regards, Ben
