Hello, When you ask for the name of an object given the index, the result is truncated of the last character.
I created a patch, which I posted to the Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368974 The bug has been open without comments for a few months now, and I assume that the Debian maintainer didn't forward the bug to you. Since I'm regularly bitten by this bug and I'm tired of rebuilding libhdf5 every time there is a Debian upgrade of the library, then I'll have to bug you myself. Please apply the patch: it's a trivial one, and it allows my code to work :) Best regards, Enrico -- GPG key: 1024D/797EBFAB 2000-12-05 Enrico Zini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
