[Insight-developers] itkHDF5ImageIOTest fails on 32 bit systems

[Bill Lorensen]

Kent,

The subject test is failing on 32 bit systems. After some CSI work, I
found that HDF5 is not writing long's as long's on the systems. It
writes them as int's. The test failure logic has two modes of
failures. It is this test
!itk::ExposeMetaData<long>(metaDict2,"TestLong",metaDataLong2) that
fails. I put some print statements in the meta data code and metaDict2
is returning an int type for long and an unsigned int type for
unsigned long.

Seems like an HDF5 config problem or bug, but I'm not up to digging into HDF5.
