Hi,

A test-build of dolfin against cmake-built HDF5 (1.14.6 currently in
experimental) reported extraneaous MPI test failures.

All these new failures have this message logged:

*** Error:   Unable to write XDMF file.
*** Reason:  ASCII format is not supported in parallel, use HDF5.
*** Where:   This error was encountered inside XDMFFile.cpp.

Being MPI tests I guess these failures are expected. However I wonder
how they aren't triggered when building against the autotools-built
HDF5 1.14.5 in unstable.

Full build log available on request.

Any clue?

Best,
_g.
