[FLASH-USERS] Problem with HDF5 output on Ranger

[Paul Stewart]

Based on my experience I would say is a problem with the PGI compiler and
the HDF5 library.  It is a problem with the hdf5 library, not FLASH or the
compiler.  I think that HDF5-1.8.9 may work with the PGI compiler because
someone here submitted a bug fix related to HDF5 not working with the PGI
compiler not too long after hdf5-1.8.8 came out.
