PLY reader is broken
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
The vtkPLYReader class either terminates with an error, or causes a segmentation fault when used with at least some of the models available at the Stanford 3D Scanning Repository, the Armadillo model from the repository, and the Bunny model from the linked Georgia Tech Large Models Archive. The models work fine with the tools available on the Stanford page.
