I have found, by experimentation, and by just following the code,
that netCDF is rather non-robust when run under low memory
conditions (i.e. with a high probability of malloc failing).
This is a problem, because it usually ends up in a "core dump"
in Unix, or a system crash in DOS. In Unix, this usually goes
unnoticed, thanks to virtual memory. However, in DOS the results
are rather catastrophic, your computer usually going out to lunch.
Are there any future plans to improve the robustness of the code
for low-memory conditons? Any patches out there?
Thanks,
Carlos.
