Details:

This is simple to reproduce, but pretty weird.  Use the file example.h5
attached to this bug report and then try


run-octave -f
load example.h5
error: load: error while reading hdf5 item all_measurements
exit
fatal: caught signal Segmentation fault -- stopping myself...
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


This behavior has been present, but buried, for a long time because I find the
same behavior back through at least version 4.2.1.
