[svn-r18374] Purpose: Fix bugs involving external links
Description: Previously, the library would reopen the source file when traversing an external link if unable to find the target file otherwise. This has been corrected. Also moved the call to H5F_flush from H5F_try_close to H5F_dest, so the file is only flushed when the last identifier for the file is closed. This prevernts situations where the library could attempt to flush a file with protected metadata. Tested: jam, amani, linew (h5committest); Fedora

Library
-------
+ - Fixed a bug where the library, when traversing an external link, would
+ reopen the source file if nothing else worked. (NAF - 2010/03/05)
- Fixed an intermittent bug in the b-tree code which could be triggered
by expanding and shrinking chunked datasets in certain ways.
