[Eeglablist] Issues importing 32 bit neuroscan CNT files recorded in scan 4.5

For the record, we have had no problems importing Neuroscan cnt files with
various hardware versions (synamps, synamps 2, synamps rt; 16 bit and 32
bit).  We use 64 bit matlab to avoid memory issues in wndows.  We use XP and
Windows 7.
