segmentation fault using hdf5load() under Unix

Dear R-users,

I'm experiencing a segmentation fault when using
hdf5load(file,load=FALSE). Library(hdf5) loads without problems but when
loading a file, R crashes. I compiled R under Unix (Solaris for Sun).
There is nothing wrong with the files, as I can run the same script at
another place where R runs under Linux.

Is it possible it has something to do with the hdf5 libraries where
package(hdf5) refers to?

Regards,

Hanneke

Please check the hdf5 package version numbers are the current one.

Does the file contain text strings?  If so there has been a known problem 
with hdf5 crashes and a recent update of hdf5 (which I do not know for 
sure whether it fixes the problem or not).  This manifested itself as 
crashes on some machines and not others.
