[svn-r9054] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: Correct possible core dump when a datatype conversion function is registered with the library after a compound datatype has been converted (having it's type conversion information cached by the library). The compound datatype must have been created by inserting the fields in non-increasing offset order to see the bug. Solution: Re-sort the fields in the compound datatypes before recalculating the cached information when performing the conversion on them. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.10 (sleipnir) h5committested
