I haven't gotten any email from Frank Sainsbury.  If it was sent to
"address@hidden", maybe it got forwarded to someone else who
hasn't had a chance to reply yet (July 3 and July 4 were holidays for us).

There is a beta test version of netCDF-3.5.1 available from

  ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf-3.5.1-beta.tar.Z

which may fix the problem.  Please try it and let us know of any
problems you run into.  Thanks.
