Hi Micah,

Thanks for pointing this out. Would be great if you could submit a patch that would be discussed by the community :)

Yeah, ran valgrind on my code and it works. I don't have sample code though, because its part of kind of a big codebase. I will however attach a sample dataset where the bug occurs. Reading the dataset with vtkDataSetReader will definitely recreate the bug. While I was there I went ahead and added delete[] to several other 'decoded' variables. I think this was a copy-and-paste error.
