It's a start.  I forwarded your previous posting on this problem to
Steve Emmerson, and he will reply about the recommended fix for the bug
you found.  It involves redefining all the netCDF-2 Fortran error flag
parameters to have the same values as the corresponding netCDF-3 error
flag parameters.

Thanks for reporting the problem.
