There is no obvious connection between the 3Din2D algorithm and I/O, as 
far as I know. So I don't know why turning "3Din2D" would result in
FLASH hanging in I/O.

Any 1.8.* version of HDF5 should work AFAIK. You may have to compile
FLASH with -DH5_USE_16_API (see your Makefile.h, or others under ./sites),
depending on how the HDF5 library was configured; but if you don't
when you need to, there should be some obvious error message.
