Not that I know of.  Perhaps what happened is that either ncgen or ncdump or
both were not re-linked to the new netCDF library after string.c was
recompiled, so they are still using the old, incorrect version.  I guess the
easiest way to tell if this is happening is to delete the netcdf/ncgen/ncgen
and netcdf/ncdump/ncdump executables, re-make again from the top-level
netcdf directory to get them relinked, and then try make test.  If this
doesn't work, maybe a "make clean" is in order, then try making everything
with a "-g" instead of "-O" option to see if that makes the test work OK.
I'd be interested in hearing whether and which of these suggestions work.
