	Changed memory allocation functions so they fail instead of
	dumping core.  The `x' was removed from the name to remind us
	of that: H5MM_xmalloc() -> H5MM_malloc(), etc.

	H5MM_calloc() takes one argument like H5MM_malloc() instead of
	two like calloc() because we almost always called it with `1'
	for one of the arguments anyway.  The only difference between
	the two functions is that H5MM_calloc() returns memory which
	is initialized to zero.

./src/H5Gent.c
./src/H5Gprivate.h
	Removed H5G_ent_calloc() since it wasn't used.

./src/H5Fistore.c
	Fixed a bug found by Albert.  Thanks, Albert!  This fix
	combined with the changes to memory allocation prevent the
	library from failing an assertion if the application uses an
	unreasonable size for chunks (like Alberts 10000x10000x4).

./src/H5MF.c
./src/H5MFprivate.h
	Changed H5MF_free() to H5MF_xfree() since calling it with an
	undefined address is allowed.

Release information for parallel HDF5
-------------------------------------
+) Current release supports independent access to fixed dimension datasets
only.
+) The comm and info arguments of H5Cset_mpi are not used. All parallel
I/O are done via MPI_COMM_WORLD. Access_mode for H5Cset_mpi can be
H5ACC_INDEPENDENT only.
+) This release of parallel HDF5 has been tested on IBM SP2 and SGI
Origin 2000 systems. It uses the ROMIO version of MPIO interface
for parallel I/O supports.
+) Useful URL's.
Parallel HDF webpage: "http://hdf.ncsa.uiuc.edu/Parallel_HDF/"
ROMIO webpage: "http://www.mcs.anl.gov/home/thakur/romio/"
+) Some to-do items for future releases
support for Intel Teraflop platform.
support for unlimited dimension datasets.
support for file access via a communicator besides MPI_COMM_WORLD.
support for collective access to datasets.
support for independent create/open of datasets.
