[netCDF #XAS-504138]: NcFile Netcdf4 Memory Leak

Hi Greg,

There's not much available yet, since netCDF-4 is still only in beta
release.

You could use the "ncdump" utility that is in the current daily
snapshot, but it is not really ready for release yet, as it still
needs work (underway) to handle buffer overflows with values of deeply
nested data types and to handle NcML.

However, it works for simple user-defined types, strings, and new
primitive types.  It needs more testing, so you might be able to
identify problems and give us feedback, if you're willing.

Another possibility is h5dump or other HDF5 utility, but that may
require understanding how the netCDF-4 data model is encoded in
the more complex HDF5 data model (which should not be necessary to use
netCDF-4).
