I think Britton is correct. I just took a look at the code, and the
h5py file pointer is being closed, which is correct, and I think 1.3
fixes this issue.

Actually, I think if the h5py pointer gets 'del'ed and perhaps
gc.collect() is called, this 1.2 bug can be circumvented. But,
overall, I think 1.3 is a better option that adding all that mess to
the code.

Let us know if you run into trouble with installing or using 1.3!
