MV2.array(0.).fill_value is NaN!

[stefraynaud]

In the TransientVariable.__new__ method, the following code assign a NaN value to the fill_value attribute:

       fill_value = numpy.array(fill_value).astype(dtype),

So, for instance:

>>> numpy.isnan(MV2.array(0.).fill_value)
True

commented already onyuor other post. It gets really really bad in numpy 1.9.1 ... I think a huge overhaul is needed at this point...

@doutriaux1 as noted in #481 is the so called "VTK readers" a possible path forward here?

[doutriaux1]

Maybe.
