[svn-r17764] Purpose: Fix bug 1483
Description: H5HG_load made improper assumptions about the ordering of object indices, namely that they are in order. Not only is this not guaranteed by the file format spec, but this condition can be violated if id's "wrap around" which can happen when overwriting VL data. H5HG_load has been fixed to handle any order of indices. Also fixed some other bugs involving allocation of global heaps in memory. Tested: jam, linew, amani (h5committest)
