[svn-r7860] Purpose:

    Bug fix

Description:
    Our previous "optimization" of metadata writing which only wrote metadata
from one process was abusing MPI-I/O and after some consultation with Rob Ross
and Rajeev Thakur, Albert & I have come up with a solution...

Solution:
    Instead of only writing from one process, issue a collective write
operation with all processes, for metadata writes.

Platforms tested:
    FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
    h5committest
