Odd comma

[Carter Bullard]

Hey Phillip,
Yep, the comma should not be there.  Just wanted to make sure what
the bug was.

Not related to the bug, but a curiosity. Because rastream() is writing
to a file, its not writing to stdout, so there is no ASCII conversion,  
and
so there are no fields to separate, and thus no need for a comma.

What is it that you expect the RA_FIELD_SPECIFIER to do for you here?

Thanks for the bug report, I'll fix it right now.
