Hello,

either the implementation of the HyperSlab Itemtype, or my grasp of it is 
corrupted. To illustrate the problem which I am getting, see the attached XDMF 
file (no HDF5 needed, just plain XML), which is supposed to cut a 2x2x2 cube 
out of a larger 3x3x3x cube. My issues:
1. To extract the subgrid [0,1]^3 from the larger [0,2]^3 grid, I set the 
start-stride-count in the first DataItem to
 0 0 0
 1 1 1
 2 2 2
 in analogy to the example from [www.xdmf.org/index.php/XDMF_Model_and_Format], 
but this causes Paraview to crash. ("*** glibc detected *** ... realloc(): 
invalid next size: 0x0000000008e1a800 ***")
The same happens if I try to access the opposite corner [1,2]^3 (the one with 
values in the [8,15] range) using
 1 1 1
 1 1 1
 2 2 2
2. I can apparently avoid the crash using ranges whose count values are at 
least 3 (which should obviously be too large for the 2x2x2 target grid), and 
even grossly out-of-bound values such as
 12 11 321
 1 1 1
 6 13 13
are accepted without complaints, and result in something that from visual 
inspection looks like
 1 2 0 3 4 0 0 0
i.e. a copy of the beginning of the source array.

Can anybody explain to me what is going on here?
Any hint would be apprechiated.

Best, Jens.
PS: I have tried to get help from the Xdmf mailing list (so far without any 
response), but since this potentialle concerns both [Paraview] and [Xdmf] (and 
this list is apparently more active), I post this here again.
