Thanks for reporting this bug!

Your fix seems to work, but I developed a slightly different fix that may
be easier for us to maintain, which I've appended.  I've also added
the problem and fix to our "Known problems with the netCDF 3.3 release"
page at 

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

It's not much reward, but I've also added your name to our THANKS file,
at

    ftp://ftp.unidata.ucar.edu/pub/netcdf/THANKS
