Re: Octave 2.1.50 and hdf5 1.6.0

[Shaun Cloherty]

The hdf5 files in question were created by some in house simulation
software. We have been using octave to analyse these datasets for a few
years now with great success. I havn't looked at the problem in enough
detail to comment on whether the observed problem is a short comming of
octave or not. Until I have time to look at the problem further, we have
reverted back to hdf5 v1.4.5-post8.

Shaun
