I just built the newer swarm snap with the old hdf5-1.2.2, and did not
get that error about hdf5.  I'm using the RH "cutting edge" gcc-2.96.69,
since it has been working for a while and compiles everything except
hdf5-1.4.

In the swarm build I didn't get any crashes or warnings about hdf5 in
the rpm build process, and I'm confused about why. 

I've installed the rpms I built, and they run swarm apps, and give new
warnings/errors as needed.  I'm sure I'm getting the new Swarm package
because I see this, for example.  This is a new one, isn't it?
