genfromdta() fails under Win7

[Kyle Foreman]

genfromdta() (in both statsmodels release 0.2.0 and the trunk as of July 6, 2010) fail when reading in files under Windows 7. Same script with same data file works fine on Linux. The test file I've been using is attached, code (for release 0.2.0) is below:

import scikits.statsmodels
scikits.statsmodels.lib.io.genfromdta('./genfromdta_test.dta')
# error: unpack requires a string argument of length 4 (line 349 of io.pyc)

Thanks for reporting. Fix committed.

Confirmed working in Win7, thanks!
