NetCDF supports NC_LONG between -2147483648 and 2147483647, but
according to Kernighan & Ritchie, 2nd edition on ANSI standards, p.257 at
section
B11, Implementation-defined limits, we have LONG_MIN as -2147483647.
Can the use of -2147483648 for missing value in netCDF file create problems on
some machine?
