I haven't had the time to test this hypothesis but looking at the HDF5
C++ wrapping code it looks like it may not be terminating the string
before converting to C++ std::string if the H5Dread doesn't do that by
itself for some reason. Maybe worth trying this patch?

throw DataSetIException("DataSet::read", "H5Dread failed for fixed
length string");
}
- // Terminate the string
- strg_C[attr_size]=0;
-
// Get string from the C char* and release resource allocated locally
strg = strg_C;
delete []strg_C;
