Hi Guys,

I've done a small amount of testing on the latest build. It's getting close but there are still some 
outstanding issues:

  * The bottom LH status bar over writes the (X,Y) coordinates with "Reading Field..." when updating
    live data. I think status updates from reading data should only be displayed on the initial read.
  * "FFT Length" is editable when "Interleaved Average" is deselected.
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328371
  * Time axis does not update after changing sample frequency.
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328481 It looks like the behaviour of this bug has changed
    but it is still not right yet. I can provide more details if required.
  * Kst crashes intermittently when loading live data. I can't reproduce this reliably yet but it
    seems that the larger the file the more likely it is to crash. I will provide more details when
    I can find the steps to reproduce this.

None critical bugs:

  * The length of time required to read/pass ASCII data changes dramatically from one column to the
    next. I'm not sure if this is a bug but on the surface it looks like load times could be
    significantly reduced if this problem was fixed.
  * Temporary memory is not freed after reading data from an ASCII file. As it stands at the moment
    approximately twice as much ram is required than is really necessary.

I'll do some more testing and get back to you if I find anything else.

Regards, Ben
