You should notice that it is important to close al file_id and
datasets_id you've used as such:

file_id = H5F_OPEN(file)
dataset_id = H5D_OPEN(file_id, nr_bands_str)
nr_bands = H5D_READ(dataset_id)
H5D_CLOSE, dataset_id
H5F_CLOSE, file_id

In this way there is no memory leakage. If this does not help I must
refer you to the link David provided.
