[Kst] readField() in a datasource

[Nicholas Chapman]

I had used the debugging in QtCreator which lead me to think there was
a problem.  However, after a weekend rest, I realized the problem was
partly operator error, and partly fitstable not handling cases where
only a subset of rows from a file should be read.  I can fix the
latter, but the former keeps cropping up. ;)
