I'm working on an app that will convert our HDF5 data to csv or xls. It is 
written in C# using the HDF5.NET wrappers, HDF 1.8.6 and running on Windows 
Server 2008.

And I've run into a problem where H5A.iterate locks up on certain data files. 
The problem files have 8 packet tables, most with an associated axis. The file 
and each dataset have attributes. Currently working on the CSV output, I 
iterate through each dataset, outputting file & the dataset attributes as a 
header and then the data is output comma separated. On the last dataset 
(consistently), as it is iterating through attributes the program locks. 
Specifically, it occurs on the H5A::getName call of the 6th iteration of the 
H5A.iterate loop.

There's nothing particularly special about the attributes there, the first & 
second datasets have nearly identical attributes and present no problem. As a 
test, I reversed the dataset iteration order and that last dataset works fine, 
but the 3rd to last locks. If I comment out the H5A.iterate loop entirely, it 
works fine. Other datasets for other instruments are working fine. I've also 
run the problem files through H5Dump, which outputs fine.

I'm not sure what the issue would be. Any thoughts?
