h5diff 1.8.7 does not notice non-comparable objects

h5diff is wrongly exiting with a 0 status when objects are not comparable. Anyone else seeing this?

[dws@iter history]$ /usr/local/contrib/hdf5-1.8.7-par/bin/h5diff -v binaryOperation2p_History.h5 ../../../vpresults-iter/history/binaryOperation2p/binaryOperation2p_History.h5 /add
dataset: </add> and </add>
Not comparable: </add> has rank 1, dimensions [62], max dimensions [18446744073709551615]
and </add> has rank 1, dimensions [61], max dimensions [18446744073709551615]
attribute: <vsMesh of </add>> and <vsMesh of </add>>
0 differences found
attribute: <vsType of </add>> and <vsType of </add>>
0 differences found
0 differences found

···

--------------------------------
Some objects are not comparable
--------------------------------
Use -c for a list of objects.
[dws@iter history]$ echo $?
0

If I remove the dataset argument, h5diff correctly exits with a 1 status.

Thanks,
Dave
