[yt-users] h5py problem

[John ZuHone]

Hi all,

I've discovered that the h5py crash is actually happening while I am attempting to write to a new HDF5 file using data from the other file. 

But it's even more simple than that: it turns out that all I have to do is simply open the parameter file, access some data within it, and then attempt to write the other file with junk data to cause the crash. 

I have stripped down the offending script to a very bare-bones version that leaves most of the stuff I'm doing out but still results in a crash:

http://paste.enzotools.org/show/1730/

Other scripts seem to be able to handle this data fine, so I don't know what's going on. 

Best,

John
