[svn-r7018] Purpose:
Bug fix Description: The dataset's modification time was getting set whenever raw data was written with H5Dwrite. Unfortunately, this is a metadata change (which are required to be performed collectively) and H5Dwrite may be called independently from a parallel program, resulting in metadata cache corruption and/or program hangs. Solution: Don't update the modification time when raw data it written. :-( Platforms tested: FreeBSD 4.8 (sleipnir) w/parallel h5committest Misc. update: Noted in release notes and also sent to Frank for updating the docs.

Complete list of changes:
+ * Changed dataset modification time to _not_ be updated when raw data is
+ written to a dataset. The modification time is only updated when the
+ dataset's metadata is modified. QAK - 2003/06/10
* Changed H5Sget_select_bounds to use 'hssize_t *' for start and end
parameters, instead of 'hsize_t *', to better match other parts of the
dataspace API. QAK - 2003/06/04
