Description

1) File: ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.uiuc.edu/pub/outgoing/HDFCompass/kent-files/hdf5-handler-fake/ntypes.h5

2) Testing version: Windows version of the release candidate from S3

For a 1-D (4 element) variable length array)(vl_type), compass misses values of the index 2 and 3.

For index 2, h5dump shows the values (200),(210,211),(220,221,222)
compass only shows (200),(210,211)

For index 3, h5dump shows the values (300), (310, 311), (320, 321, 322), (330, 331, 332, 333)
compass only shows (300),,(310,311)

It looks like compass correctly picks up all the values in index 1 and then keep using the number of elements in index 1 for the rest indexes. This is wrong for a variable length array.
