[Kst] Interpolation

[Barth Netterfield]

Hi Steve,

Hmm.... Unfortunately, it turns out that Kst does not really support your case 
here :-(

The missing values are interpreted as NaNs (which seems pretty reasonable).  
But the interpolation plugin does not support NaNs (and crashes).

The crashes in the existing plugins are bugs which should be fixed.  I think 
the fix could be done so that it would automatically be able to have them 
interpolate over NaNs.

So: Could you submit this as a bug so we don't forget about it?
