Howdy Jeff!

OK, I don't know if this is a HDF5 bug or not, but I presume that it is. You 
can only detach dimension scales in reverse order from the order you attached 
them. This surprises me, but perhaps it's the behavior they intend. I have 
built in a test case in the h5_test directory (tst_h_dimscales4.c) which 
demonstrates the issue, and brought this to the attention of the HDF5 team. 
They will let me know if this is a bug or a feature. ;-)

Meanwhile, I have changed my code to go through the list backwards when 
detaching dimension scales, and now your test case works. (This is with HDF5 
1.8.6.)

I have generated a snapshot release with this fix - if you could give it a try 
that would be great.

Thanks,

Ed
