It's actually the "#local temp = <0,0>" line that's freaking it out. The
#read directive is, for some reason, refusing to read data into a
variable that currently contains a uv vector.

However, if you omit that line, the #read works the first time (when
'temp' is undefined), and happily reads a uv vector into 'temp'. Then on
the second pass, the #read directive refuses to read data into a
variable that currently contains the uv vector it read on the previous
pass.

A few quick tests show that all these workrounds work:

1. Have 'temp' be undefined whenever the #read is invoked

    #local i=0;
    #while (i<Bottom_numUV)
      #read (File,temp)
      temp
      #undef temp
    #local i=i+1;
    #end

2. Make 'temp' be a float whenever the #read is invoked

    #local i=0;
    #while (i<Bottom_numUV)
      #local temp = 0;
      #read (File,temp)
      temp
    #local i=i+1;
    #end

3. Make 'temp' be a 3-vector whenever the #read is invoked

    #local i=0;
    #while (i<Bottom_numUV)
      #local temp = <0,0,0>;
      #read (File,temp)
      temp
    #local i=i+1;
    #end
