[svn-r7842] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: Variable length strings and sequences with NULL pointers were not handled by library, causing problems access the data. This also affected fill values for variable-length datatypes. Solution: Address the issues in the library by detecting NULL sequences/strings and avoid trying to convert them. Patched up dumper to display NULL sequences/strings. Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) h5committest
