When trying to read the attached XPT file v8 readstat is not reading the column names correctly.

This is what readstat is reading (only first row included for brevity)

./readstat dates_8.xpt -
"dt","dt","timezone","dates","string_dates","times","string_times","seconds","seconds"
-86401.000000,"1959-12-30 23:59:59","UTC",-2.000000,"1959-12-30",86399.000000,"23:59:59",-86401.000000,1.000000

and it should be:

'dt', 'string_dt', 'timezone', 'dates', 'string_dates', 'times', 'string_times', 'seconds', 'missings'

@reikoch is aware of the issue, according to him this comes from the fact the XPT has labels.
The XPT files was originated from a sas7bdat files also attached.
