+Subject: [PATCH] Fix test_error chunk offset detection for HDF5 2.1.0 (#167)
+
+Use H5Dget_chunk_info_by_coord (HDF5 1.12+) to dynamically find the
+chunk's file offset instead of the hardcoded value 3496.  HDF5 2.1.0
+changed internal file layout so the chunk no longer lives at that
+address, causing the raw-byte corruption to miss the ZFP stream and
+yielding only 652 differing values instead of the expected 1408.
