[netCDF #QHK-534643]: make check failure

Hi Evan,

The message you are getting:

  ncdump: roms_avg.0480.nc: File too large

looks like a system-level error, rather than an error from ncdump.  The string
"File too large" doesn't occur anywhere in the netCDF library source code or in
the ncdump source code.  It is the error message that would be emitted by
ncdump
in case a system call such as open() returned the system error EFBIG, defined
in
/usr/include/errno.h.

If you run a simple Unix command on the same file, such as

  wc roms_avg.0480.nc

do you get an error, or does it produce the expected output?

It would be useful to see a debug trace to find out where the error is coming
from,
in particular whether from the HDF5 library or the netCDF-4 library.  When you
run "make check", it runs several large file tests on netCDF-4 that involve
files
larger than 4 GiB, so what you are seeing is puzzling ...
