Peter, Thanks for the hints.

The "guilty" line of code HDmemcpy(tgath_buf,buf+off[curr_seq],curr_len); translates into (due to macro "#define HDmemcpy(X,Y,Z) memcpy((char*)(X),(const char*)(Y),Z)") memcpy((char*)(tgath_buf),(const char*)(buf+off[curr_seq]),curr_len); and (dbx) p tgath_buf tgath_buf = 0x9f5c4f0 (definitely not NULL) We've also asked for help at [EMAIL PROTECTED] regarding the HDF5 package. This is under Solaris 10 x86, using the latest Sun Studio compiler/tools. -Greg > > > (What happened to the length and how did NULL get in there.)
