Hi Hermann and HDF5/Netcdf4 users:
Ok, I think I have a fix for this. It is a bug in all versions in
reading the symbol table when sizeOffsets = 4. Im amazed we havent seen
this before, but likely the default is sizeOffsets = 8. I dont see any
way this could "silently fail" so if your hdf5 files are reading without
an exception, you should be ok.
Anyway, I will get a release out with this fix asap.
Thanks for reporting!

Hi,
I'm trying to use netcdf-java for reading HDF5 files with radar data.
As simple test program using NetcdfFile.open() was used. I have tried
the sample files found on [ http://www.knmi.nl/opera/odc.html ]. The
files by SMHI fail with this stack trace:

Files by other institutions can be read without error messages. HDFView
and h5dump don’t seem to have problems with SMHI’s files. I have tried
netcdf-java 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2.
Do you have more insight into the HDF5 format an can comment on this
issue?
Please find attached the test program used and detailed debug output
for one of the files.
Thanks in advance,
Hermann
