I would advise not hooking MPI-IO cleanup into atexit(3): you already 
correctly make the user call MPI_Init and MPI_Finalize.  Can hdf5

        The way we normally suggest taking care of this sort of issue in MPI
programs is for the application program to call H5close() immediately
before calling MPI_Finalize().  Will that work for you?


Really?  Call H5Close inside a netcdf4 code?  Well, I can do that,
sure.  That seems to lack a certain symmetry, no?
I agree with you, but I don't think there's a corresponding "shut the netCDF-4 library down" API routine. :-) 

        Perhaps Ed or Russ can speak to that issue/possibility...
