Fixed error in handling of strings with non-terminated quotes
so that these don't crash program (thanks to Kevin McAbee)

Deferred allocation of memory when creating
FitsHeap's (thanks to Vincenzo Forchi, ESO).

Fixed error in getting size of associated data for dummy
headers in Header.getDataSize(). This could return 1 rather than 0 if
NAXIS=0 was used to signal a dummy.  This doesn't affect data
when read normally (as full HDUs) since the ImageData class
does the computation correctly.  (Thanks to Pat Dowler, CADC)

The source code JAR (fits_src.jar) includes a number of new classes for
which the corresponding class files are not included in fits.jar.  These
classes are pre-alpha versions of support for tile compressed data that 
is being developed.  Interested Users may take a look at these, but they
definitely are not expected to work today.  Support for Rice, Gzip and
HCompress compression is expected.
