[yt-users] yt unpacking error on Pleiades

Well, I guess it wasn't exactly the same file. On my computer I have other
galaxy snapshots from the same code, in the same format, which I assumed
would be practically identical except for different numbers

But when I tried porting it over to my computer it had the same error, and
another file on Pleiades of a different snapshot worked fine. Apparently it
was an error with the data storage/retrieval, and not with yt. So now it's
working.

Thanks so much for your quick response though!
