H5repack issue with dimension scales

Hi,

I am running into the exact same issue as in
http://hdf-forum.184993.n3.nabble.com/H5repack-dimension-scales-with-custom-attributes-tp4028565p4028568.html
(for
some reason I can't reply to that thread). Specifically, h5repack fails
when custom attributes are attached to dimension scales. Was this ever
fixed? I am currently using version 1.8.17 of h5repack, but I can talk with
my sys-admin about updating if it was fixed. Thanks,

Jonathan Jara-Almonte
