[kepler-dev] fileOrURLPort broken in BinaryFileReader ?

Hi Tristan,
    I certainly see the same err that you reported - namely that 
specifying the file name on the port never transfers the file name to 
the internal parameter!

    The problem seems to be in the 'if (fileOrURLPort.hasToken(0)) {' 
statement in the '_openAndReadFirstBytes' method. No token is being 
retreived. I think that the problem is that this method is being called 
in the initialize and preinitialze methods and tokens are not present 
yet when these are fired. I commmented out the calls to 
openAndReadFirstBytes in these methods and added it to the very top of 
the fire method and everything worked OK!

    I will defer to Efrat to take a look and see if my conclusion is 
correct, since this is a GEON actor.
