Research direction

Start by examining the attached hs_err_pid4940.log to identify the crash location and the circumstances recorded there. Then trace the struct member display path in the HDFView code; the issue gives no file or reproduction steps. Done means the crash is reproducible, its cause is addressed, and displaying struct member information no longer crashes.
