Unexpectedly slow when reading file which only contains a single column in the data section

[Soumya3276]

Describe the bug I was running lasio.read() on few files to get the STAT. value. But there is some files where no data is present in ascii section for respective Measured Depth values. But the lasio.read() not giving any error or exception. It just keeps on running.

To Reproduce Due to security and privacy reasons I cannot upload that file (even any sample file) from my computer. I can attach photograph of a sample file.

Expected behavior I expected if there is some error due to las file not maintaining proper formatting or cases like these, there should be an error to indicate that. So I will be able to handle that error. (e.g. it should give value error or some other error if only one curve is present as in this case.)

Software versions (please complete the following information):

• Python version: 3.12.1 64bit

• Python distribution: Miniconda

• lasio version (import lasio; print(lasio.__version__)) 0.31
