[ExM Users] Passing two dimensional numerical arrays to leaf functions

There's a bug in one of our library functions.  Thanks for reporting.  I've
fixed it in the repository so it'll get into the next point release. If you
want to quickly patch your version as a workaround, you can edit line 535
of turbine/lib/files.tcl in the Swift/T source as below, then run "make
install" to install the fixed version of the file.

-    proc blob_read_body { result input } {
+   proc blob_read_body { result src } {
