ncview is not directly supported by Unidata.  It is a contributed package
that we have made available from our FTP server as a convenience, but
support questions such as the above should be directed to its author, David
Pierce <address@hidden>, whom I've CC:ed on this reply.  The latest
version, 1.38h, is available from

   ftp://cirrus.ucsd.edu/pub/ncview/ncview.tar.Z

and is more recent than what I had on our FTP server.  The package is
changing frequently enough that I'm putting a reference to the latest
version in our web document on "Software for Manipulating or Displaying
NetCDF Data" at

    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/software.html

>  Do you have some patch for this release ?

We have a later release than netcdf-2.4-beta6.  It's version 2.4.2 (May 1996)
available as

   ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/netcdf.tar.Z
