[pytables-users] segfault when reading table

[Antonin Blot]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a relatively large (7gb) hdf5 file but get segfaults as
soon as I try to access the data:

In [1]: import tables
In [2]: h5file = tables.open_file('experiment1_100.raw.kwd', 'r')
In [3]: d=h5file.get_node('/recordings/0')
In [4]: d.data
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm pretty sure the file is not corrupted since matlab manages to read it:
d=h5read('experiment1_100.raw.kwd', '/recordings/0/data');
returns a 75x7534200 int16 matrix.

I'm using tables version 3.1.1. Any ideas on what could go wrong and how I
could fix that?

Thanks!

A.
