Hello everyone, I'm very new to the Hdf5 universe, so forgive me if I'm 
completely off-track.

I have a problem using the java-object package (ncsa.hdf.object.h5).
I have one (file1.h5) file that contains an external link to another file 
(file2.h5).
I create a new H5File("file1.h5"); and I try to use the get() method to access 
a group in the linked-to file. This causes the hdf library to crash, taking 
down my application with it.
After playing around a while, I've come to the conclusion that:
 - without going via external links, all is ok
 - access to data (i.e. not groups) in file2.h5 via file1.h5 is ok - if I use 
H5File.open() beforehand, all is ok - if I use the low-level functions in the 
class ncsa.hdf.hdf5lib.H5, all is ok.
Have I found a bug? If so, how do I report it? I can provide sample code if 
need be.

At the moment, I'm working around the problem by calling open() beforehand, but 
as my hdf files are getting bigger and bigger, it's causing the open() to run 
extremely slowly!


Chris.
