Description
Some CI jobs have produced output indicating errors in HDF5 threads when test_Data_get_filenamesruns: see report in https://github.com/NCAS-CMS/cf-python/pull/520#issuecomment-1350244307 (with further detail in https://github.com/NCAS-CMS/cf-python/pull/520#issuecomment-1351305513). As deduced by @davidhassell in https://github.com/NCAS-CMS/cf-python/pull/520#issuecomment-1350649482, this is probably not an issue with the cf-python code, rather HDF5 and netCDF-C, but I'm opening this Issue because I/we don't have time to look into it now and we should confirm it is indeed 'not our problem' (and find a way to prevent the errors showing up regardless).

Research direction
Start with test_Data_get_filenames and the linked reports in pull request #520, including the follow-up comment. Reproduce the HDF5-thread errors in the affected CI jobs and determine whether they originate in cf-python or its HDF5/netCDF-C dependencies. Done means confirming the cause and identifying how the errors can be prevented from appearing.
