Research direction

Start with the memfile_simple-hdf5 test and the db_hdf5_process_file_options failure reported in the issue. Reproduce the failure on s390x and compare it with the passing architectures to identify the platform-specific VFD option behavior. Done means the test no longer aborts on s390x while continuing to pass elsewhere.
