COMPAT: reading generic PyTables Table format fails with sub-selection
I created a file using pytables, and now I would like to read it into pandas. My (naive) expectation was that these two tools were compatible. But I am getting an error

``` python
pd.read_hdf(output_fname, '/floats/trajectories', start=0, stop=10)
```

gives

```
ValueError: Shape of passed values is (1, 10), indices imply (1, 753664023)
```

The file is 44 GB, so I can't really post it. I would be happy to post the `h5dump --head` metadata if that would help.

(Cross post with blaze/dask#747.)
