[svn-r7412] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: H5Gget_objname_by_idx should allow NULL for the 'name' parameter, to allow for querying for the name's length. Solution: Allow NULL for the 'name' parameter, the internal functions were already ready to handle that case. Clean up RM information about H5Gget_objname_by_idx and H5Gget_objtype_by_idx also. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) h5committest

generate a core dump on writing variable-length strings as part
of a compound datatype on certain architectures. QAK - 2003/08/25
