+ - Fixed the segmentation fault when reading attributes with multiple threads
+
+ It was reported that the reading of attributes with variable length string
+ datatype will crash with segmentation fault particularly when the number of
+ threads is high (>16 threads). The problem was due to the file pointer that
+ was set in the variable length string datatype for the attribute. That file
+ pointer was already closed when the attribute was accessed.
+
+ The problem was fixed by setting the file pointer to the current opened file pointer
+ when the attribute was accessed. Similar patch up was done before when reading
