[netCDF #KLB-596506]: apparent bug in netcdf-4.2

[Russ Rew]

Hi,

Concerning a netCDF bug reported by Jim Edwards concerning some pnetcdf
files getting corrupted by adding metadata to the file header with
netCDF, I wrote:

Thanks to a fix provided by Wei-keng Liao, the bug in netCDF is fixed in
the latest release candidate, netCDF-4.3.0-rc3, available from

   http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/netcdf/netcdf-rc/

which also includes a test for the fix.  More details on the bug and fix
are available from
