Mathis,

I have been working on your other problems - the mallocs of zero, which are 
ignored by my GNU/Linux system (and all the other systems I've tested on), but 
cause failures on your systems.

(In spite of the fact that my system silently recovers from this problem, I 
prefer the behavior of your system. These are bugs that need to be fixed!)

Fortunately the tool electric fence allows me to find these problems, and they 
are occurring in two places: the case you noted with tst_strings, and another 
case in which a coordinate variable is defined after a data variable has been 
writing with data along that dimension.

I have fixed the string problem, and that is available in the daily snapshot. I 
am still working on the other case, which is much more complicated.

I'll let you know when a new snapshot is available that passes all of electric 
fence's tests - then you can try it on your system to see if I've missed 
anything.

Thanks,

Ed
