[svn-r11079] Purpose:

    Bug fix

Description:
    Correct memory leak when a dataset is attempted to be opened, but turns
out to be a group or named datatype.

    Also, clean up code that was leading to the leak and zero out empty
group entries to help prevent similar errors in the future.

Platforms tested:
    FreebSD 4.11 (sleipnir)
    Too minor to require h5committest
