bugy 1.1.0

[Lie-Quan Lee]

Dear Parallel-netcdf Developers,

I really would like to use version 1.1.0 for its CDF-5 format in our
simulation. However, there are some issues (unrelated to CDF-5) in the
release 1.1.0. For example, the test_write program under test/test_double
failed to generated the right data file (as in test/data/test_double.nc).
Here is the ncdump of the resuting data file:

netcdf t {
dimensions:
    x = 100 ;
    y = 100 ;
    z = 100 ;
    time = UNLIMITED ; // (100 currently)
variables:
    double square(x, y) ;
        square:description = "2-D integer array" ;
    double cube(x, y, z) ;
    double time(time) ;
    double xytime(time, x, y) ;

// global attributes:
        :title = "example netCDF dataset" ;
data:

 square =
  0, nan, 2, nan, 4, nan, 6, nan, 8, nan, 10, nan, 12, nan, 14, nan, 16,
nan,
    18, nan, 20, nan, 22, nan, 24, nan, 26, nan, 28, nan, 30, nan, 32, nan,
    34, nan, 36, nan, 38, nan, 40, nan, 42, nan, 44, nan, 46, nan, 48, nan,
    50, nan, 52, nan, 54, nan, 56, nan, 58, nan, 60, nan, 62, nan, 64, nan,
    66, nan, 68, nan, 70, nan, 72, nan, 74, nan, 76, nan, 78, nan, 80, nan,
    82, nan, 84, nan, 86, nan, 88, nan, 90, nan, 92, nan, 94, nan, 96, nan,
    98, nan,
  nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan,

    nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan,
    nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan, nan,

The testing environment is:
OS: Linux x64 (RHEL4)
Compiler: gcc 4.2.2
MPI: mpich2 1.0.7

Also, in my application, open an existing netcdf and add a new variable
(2-d) messed up the existing data somehow.  The same code works when
parallel-netcdf release 1.0.3 or early is used.
