error with --enable-shared

[Wei-keng Liao]

Hello to the PnetCDF user community,

I am sincerely soliciting help from the PnetCDF user community to solve an
error found by Laura Fowler, as I do not have the same test environment as
hers and thus could not reproduce the same error. Below are the environment
settings and error messages. We will be very appreciated if you happen to
have the same environment and would like to give it a try. Thanks

OS: MacOS Mojave 10.14.6
Compilers: gcc-8.3.0 and gfortran-8.3.0
MPI library: mpich-3.3.1
PnetCDF version 1.12.0 (https://parallel-netcdf.github.io/wiki/Download.html)
PnetCDF configure command: ./configure --enable-shared --enable-large-file-test
PnetCDF build command: make -s -j4
PnetCDF test command: cd test/largefile ; make large_files ; ./large_files

The error messages encountered are:
*** Testing large files, slowly.
*** Creating large file ./testfile.nc...line 264 of ./large_files.c: NetCDF: Index exceeds dimension bound
FAIL large_files (exit status: 1)
