pnetcdf bug?

[Charlie Zender]

Hi Wei-keng,
People do this all the time in custom post-processing,
where speed/penalties are not such a big deal, and
where combining datasets is necessary.

Thanks for you quick work identifying and solving the problem.

It would be helpful to have a script that tests a
(p)netCDF file to see if the offset alignment is enabled,
because I expect to triage more bug reports submitted
to NCO where the actual cause is the alignment in the
underlying file. Any guidance on creating such a script?
