-* We have discovered two problems when running collective IO parallel HDF5

-  Under some complex selection cases: 
-  1) MPI_Get_element returns the wrong value.
-  2) MPI_Type_struct also generates the wrong derived datatype and corrupt

-  with some complex selections. We have not found these problems on other
