No, we haven't noticed any problems under SunOS 5.3.  That's what I use as a
development platform.  When we build netCDF 2.3.2 from the sources under
SunOS 5.3 using the SPARCworks ANSI C compiler, we get a few warning
messages like

  "jackets.c", line 798: warning: semantics of ">" change in ANSI C; use 
explicit cast

but it passes all the tests that get run with "make test".

If you have a small example program that demonstrates a bug, we will try to
reproduce it and determine a fix or workaround.
