I'm having a problem with setting these to 0. (It's probably the
METADATA_CACHE_SIZE, since it's an HDF5 library error.) And setting it
in both the reader and writer is having no effect.
In [8]: fyle = tables.openFile("eggs.h5",mode="a",
METADATA_CACHE_SIZE=0, NODE_CACHE_SLOTS=0)

(I also tried setting the variable in tables.parameters instead of
openFile and got the same error.)
