While the HDF5 file was produced by a very recent version of the HDF
library with SciPy, I really don't think something as simple as
getting a handle (H5F_OPEN) to the data should ever cause such a
catastrophic crash (but then again I'm an 'old school' programmer)...
Has anyone else been able to open recent HDF5 in IDL 7 or do I need to
pay for a new license to fix this bug (or even abandon IDL and learn
Python and its extensions)?

Cheers
