+ - Fix uninitialized memory in dataspace selection code
+
+ When creating a dataspace with H5Screate and setting the extent with
+ H5Sextent_copy, the selection offset was not initialized, potentially
+ causing invalid I/O. There may be other cases where this happened.
+ MOdified library to always initialize the offset.
