Hi Jonghyun
We already talked about this in person, but for the sake of the
mailing list archives...

we changed our api in 0.9.4 so that all ncmpi_ routines take
MPI_Offset instead of size_t.  Codes ported to parallel-netcdf prior
to 0.9.4 (such as the flash io benchmark) will have to be updated.
The good news is that's our last api change (we've made additional api
extensions).  

Did you find places where parallel-netcdf was still using size_t? It
sounds to me like only flash IO was using size_t, but just wanted to
make sure.
