-* We have discovered two problems when running collective IO parallel HDF5

- Linux cluster at NCSA.

- Under some complex selection cases:
- 1) MPI_Get_element returns the wrong value.
- 2) MPI_Type_struct also generates the wrong derived datatype and corrupt
- data may be generated.
- These issues arise only when turning on collective IO with chunking storage
- with some complex selections. We have not found these problems on other
- MPI-IO compilers. If you encounter these problems, you may use independent
- IO instead.
