Why do I receive an error from BUILDHDFTREE when I attempt to read my HDF-file into MATLAB?

I am using HDFTOOL to read in an HDF-file. However, I receive the following error:

 ??? One or more output arguments not assigned during call to 'd:/applications/matlab6p5p1/toolbox/matlab/iofun/private/buildhdftree (getNumProjAttrs)'.

 Error in ==> D:\Applications\matlab6p5p1\toolbox\matlab\iofun\private\buildHDFTree.m (createGridNode)

This bug has been fixed in Release 14 Service Pack 2 (R14SP2). For previous releases, please read below for any possible workarounds:

This error occurs when the Projection Code parameter is an unsupported type. In the above example, the Projection Code was listed as "unknown." To work around this, modify your HDF-files so that they do not have a Projection Code of "unknown."
