Description:
Look at the test files generated for HDF5 and PDB for VisIt for bigsil.silo. Browser displays the HDF5 'mat' object with errors. There is a -1 for nmatnos.

Comments:

Compare the HDF5 and PDB test files generated for bigsil.silo, then inspect the HDF5 mat object where the browser reports errors. Trace how the nmatnos member is written and determine the expected value by comparing the corresponding PDB data. Done means the generated HDF5 file no longer contains an invalid -1 for nmatnos and the mat object displays without errors.
