Dear All,

I can not load a xdmf file (with either of the readers) in PV 5.9.0 while all readers work in PV 5.8.1. Is this a known issue?

I am using these test files:  
[test.xmf](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/ltEesAMT5RiNNsHSQKsDxwdWJMk.xmf) (828 Bytes)  
[test.h5](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/aYI0VTOmlczu8eNETbFQSpeCw2G.h5) (6 KB)

The problem was an HDF5 library that is loaded with `module load hdf5`. The hdf5 files wrapped in the xdmf caused the crash when paraview tried to load the data with the particular HDF5 library loaded. The same configuration is/was working in paraview 5.8 or below.
