test fails on s390x: 64-bit integer attributes are not read correctly

[tillea]

Hi,
admittedly s390x is an architecture that will probably not run rhdf5 in practical cases. Anyway, the Debian package is built and tested as any other Debian package on this architecture and the test suite has uncovered an issue that might be worth investigating: Here you can see the full build log featuring all versions of packages that are used. The actual error is:

...

Kind regards, Andreas.
