Jeff,

This turns out to be a HDF5 error, I believe. 

I have reduced it to a HDF5-only program, which I sent to Quincey, the
HDF5 programmer. (But I happen to know he's on a well-deserved
vacation in Florida, so I don't know when he'll get back to look at
this!)

If anyone else at HDF5 HQ is interested, here's the HDF5 code that
demonstrates the problem. It fails on the H5Gopen call, at the bottom
of the code.

Thanks!

Ed
