Odd.  The information you've given me so far indicates that the
ncvarputg() call should fail as expected -- yet it doesn't.

Let's try adding some diagnostic print statements.  Go into the libsrc/
subdirectory.  Edit the function "nc_get_varm_int() in the file "putget.c".
Change the following

    /*
     * Verify stride argument.
     */
    for (idim = 0; idim <= maxidim; ++idim)
    {

to

    /*
     * Verify stride argument.
     */
    for (idim = 0; idim <= maxidim; ++idim)
    {
        (void)printf("nc_get_varm_int(): stride[%d]=%ld\n", idim, 
            (long)stride[idim]);

Execute a "make" in the directory (NOTE: The file "putget.c" is created
from the file "putget.m4" and the "make" should *not* regenerate
"putget.c" -- if it does then the print statement will dissapear).  Go
to the ../nctest subdirectory.  Execute a "make test" there.  Send us
the output.
