[MOAB-dev] "file id" in parallel writing

[Tim Tautges]

Each entity in the file gets a file id, and file ids are allocated out of a 0..N-1 range; all entities of all types, 
including sets, are given file ids out of that range.  See the hdf5 writeup on the MOAB wiki for details.

If you're seeing a problem with file ids, I'd guess that the sharing information is corrupt in some way.
