 ===================================
     Library
     -------
+    - Seg fault on file close
+
+      h5debug fails at file close with core dump on a file that has an
+      illegal file size in its cache image.  In H5F_dest(), the library
+      performs all the closing operations for the file and keeps track of
+      the error encountered when reading the file cache image.  
+      At the end of the routine, it frees the file's file structure and 
+      returns error.  Due to the error return, the file object is not removed 
+      from the ID node table.  This eventually causes assertion failure in 
+      H5VL__native_file_close() when the library finally exits and tries to 
+      access that file object in the table for closing.
+
+      The closing routine, H5F_dest(), will not free the file structure if
+      there is error, keeping a valid file structure in the ID node table.
+      It will be freed later in H5VL__native_file_close() when the
+      library exits and terminates the file package.
