I think the following is happening.  Because prefill is enabled,
ncvarput() tries to fill the output array with fill-values.  It calls
the internal routine xdr_NC_fill() to do this. xdr_NC_fill(), in turn,
calls an appropriate XDR routine.  It's this XDR routine that's failing
on your system.  I don't know why.

xdr_NC_fill() is in libsrc/cdf.c.
