+ - Fix shutdown failure when using the HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR environment variable
+
+ When using the HDF5_VOL_CONNECTOR environment variable to set an
+ alternative default VOL connector, if the VOL connector is a dynamically
+ loaded plugin, the library can experience segmentation faults at when
+ the library is closed. This is due to the library unloading the plugins
+ before the virtual object layer. When then the VOL shutdown occurs,
+ it will attempt to close the default VOL connector, however this will
+ fail since the plugins will already have been unloaded.
