[netCDF #HNO-635604]: 64bit BE problem in netcdf-4.1.1-rc1

> Hi all,
> 
> We stumbled across a problem with netcdf-4.1.1-rc1 on our 64bit BE machine

Thanks for pointing this out Mathis. I have fixed this, not quite in the same 
way that your patch does. The fixed version is now available as a daily 
snapshot:

ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/snapshot/netcdf-4-daily.tar.gz

Now I am working on the tst_string memory problems you reported.

Thanks,

Ed
