Hi,

I am a bit puzzled by an error that the h5ls utility is spitting out when 
dumping the contents of files created with PyTables.  For example:


$ h5ls -v ~/Downloads/test-pytables.h5/mydata

Opened "/Users/faltet/Downloads/test-pytables.h5" with sec2 driver.

mydata                   Dataset {10/10}

    Attribute: CLASS scalar

        Type:      5-byte null-terminated UTF-8 string

        Data:  "ARRAY"

    Attribute: FLAVOR scalar

        Type:      5-byte null-terminated UTF-8 string

        Data:  "numpy"

    Attribute: TITLE null

        Type:      1-byte null-terminated UTF-8 string


    Attribute: VERSION scalar

        Type:      3-byte null-terminated UTF-8 string

        Data:  "2.4"

    Location:  1:1024

    Links:     1

    Storage:   10 logical bytes, 10 allocated bytes, 100.00% utilization

    Type:      native signed char

H5tools-DIAG: Error detected in HDF5:tools (1.8.17) thread 140736151184320:

  #000: h5tools_dump.c line 1836 in h5tools_dump_mem(): H5Sis_simple failed

    major: Failure in tools library

    minor: error in function


Whereas I am not seeing the error with files created with h5py:


$ h5ls -v ~/Downloads/test-h5py.h5/mydata

Opened "/Users/faltet/Downloads/test-h5py.h5" with sec2 driver.

mydata                   Dataset {10/10}

    Location:  1:800

    Links:     1

    Storage:   10 logical bytes, 10 allocated bytes, 100.00% utilization

    Type:      native signed char


Curiously enough, both files work perfectly well when used inside their own 
Python libraries, so I suspect that something weird is going on with h5ls.  I 
am attaching the two files for your inspection.


Thanks,

Francesc Alted
