Thanks to jianwei's help i've gotten a little further:  i get a
segfault when trying to write data.  

At some point, 'nc_test -c' calls ncmpi_put_vara_text_all, which
eventually calls NC_set_vara_file_view.  The problem is the NC_var
passed into NC_set_vara_file_view has some null arrays:

(gdb) p *varp
$8 = {xsz = 1, shape = 0x0, dsizes = 0x0, name = 0x81096c0, ndims = 0,
  dimids = 0x0, attrs = {nalloc = 0, nelems = 0, value = 0x0}, type = NC_CHAR,
  len = 4, begin = 6076}


Is it an error for the client to have null 'shape' and 'dsizes'
members, or should ncmpi_put_vara_all treat that condition as 'no work
to do' and return NC_NOERR ?

thanks
