Great!

The problem could be due to the netCDF library (unlikely in my opinion)
or the SOCRATES program, or to a mis-communication between the two, or
to an improper build of either -- it's impossible to say without further
information.  Does the program crash when inside the NCVGT routine or
after it returns?  If NCVGT does return, what is the return code?  Are
the arguments to NCVGT legitimate or is one of them invalid?

I suggest that you run the SOCRATES program from within a debugger in
order to further resolve the problem.  Please let me know what you find.
