It seems that we can't render HDF datasets larger than 64x64x64
because our 8MB sun4 can't malloc enough memory to hold all that
data.  

We'd like to be able to read the data in strips, but as far as
I can tell, none of the standard functions in the HDF library
allow this.  

Any suggestions?  (Yeah, I know, buy more memory...)

Thanks,

dale
