Hi,  
I have a hdf5 Dataset {47, 1, 1, 142}. I want to plot a hyperslab, e.g. {1,1,1,142}, but no matter what I do, I get “memory selection+offset not within extent” error. I get the mesh plotted correctly, but data are totally messed up. The xmf file and the output of h5ls are attached.

Any help is highly appreciated.  
Thanks,  
Ted
