[netCDF #JNH-860762]: Problems with CDL/vlen example

Lynton,

Ooops, sorry to say my report of the bug being fixed seems premature.
Although the bug that we thought showed the essential problem was fixed,
I just got this report from Dennis:

  Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2012 11:05:34 -0600
  From: Dennis Heimbigner <address@hidden>
  To: Russ Rew <address@hidden>
  Subject: vlen bug is still there...

  I found the very original file
  Lynton sent and ran it, and it
  still fails. So the original bug
  is still not fixed.

I'll talk to Dennis more about this next week ...

> Yes, there is as of this afternoon.  The bug that was holding things up

> Please try compiling and linking against the new versions and verify whether
