Raising this problem upstream at Ginkgo I was pointed to
this bug report against itk upstream
https://itk.icts.uiowa.edu/jira/browse/ITK-2457
The comment from Mathieu there made me check which gdcm libinsighttolkit
depends on in Debian
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libinsighttoolkit3.20
This however indicates that it already depends on gdcm 2.x
which in turn means the bug is not fixed ?
Supposedly most work is on itk4 which might make the problem go away.

Sebastian
