Change in the way strong file closure works?

Howdy all!

This morning I did a hdf5 update, and now the following code does not
work, though it did before.

The problem seems to be related to closing the file. I call for strong
file closure, but the close fails anyway. The error output is below.

What am I missing here?

Thanks!

Ed

int
main()
{
   hid_t fileid, access_plist, spaceid, typeid;
   hid_t datasetid;
   hsize_t dims[1];
   struct s1 {
         unsigned char c1;
         double d;
   } data[DIM1_LEN];
   int i;

   for (i=0; i<DIM1_LEN; i++)
   {
      data[i].c1 = 126;
      data[i].d = -9999999;
   }

   printf("*** Checking packing of HDF5 compound types...");

   if ((access_plist = H5Pcreate(H5P_FILE_ACCESS)) < 0) ERR;

                           access_plist)) < 0) ERR;

   dims[0] = DIM1_LEN;
   if ((spaceid = H5Screate_simple(1, dims, dims)) < 0) ERR;

   if ((datasetid = H5Dcreate(fileid, VAR_NAME, typeid, spaceid, 
                              H5P_DEFAULT)) < 0) ERR;

   /* Write some data. */
   if (H5Dwrite(datasetid, typeid, H5S_ALL, H5S_ALL, 
                H5P_DEFAULT, data) < 0) ERR;

   /* Release all resources. */
   if (H5Fclose(fileid) < 0) ERR;


This code results in the following error:
