That error means "invalid coordinates" and would be expected if "INDEX"
did not refer to a valid part of the netCDF variable.

Maybe the above declaration should use "dimension(*)" instead of
"dimension(:)"?  I'm not sure whether that would make any difference for
this problem, especially since it works fine on the RS/6000.

This may be a symptom error in the J90 Fortran 90 compiler.  Maybe you
can create a small test case that is independent of netCDF that
demonstrates the problem.  Sorry I can't be of more help ...
