I'd never heard of hncgen before your question. I see that when I build and
install HDF-4.2.9 with the --disable-netcdf --prefix=${H4DIR} configure
options, an "ncgen" executable is installed in ${H4DIR}/bin/. Also, there
has apparently been a request to the HDF Group to rename the HDF4 ncgen
utility to avoid the name clash with the netCDF utility:

From that, I'd guess the bug you found should be sent to address@hidden
