Description:

    - Removed calls to H5Tget_native_type in the PT code. The application would
    need to do that if desired.
    - Added Abhi's program to tests to verify the fix.
    - This fix might have fixed HDFFV-9927, HDFFV-9042, and the issue reported
      by Barbara Jones from Ametek as well.
Platforms tested:
    Linux/32 2.6 (jam)
    Linux/64 (jelly)
    Darwin (osx1010test)
