[svn-r8897]
Purpose: Bug Fix Description: Trying to create the root group or the working group ("/" or ".") fakes out HDF5 so that it neither creates a group nor returns an error. Solution: H5G_namei now throws an error if it was supposed to insert but didn't. Platforms tested: sleipnir, Visual Studio 7 (very minor change) Misc. update:
