Netcdf data corruption after redef. address@hidden

Gentlemen:

You have reported problems with netcdf data corruption after
calling nc_redef/nc_endef.

Attached find a patch which I hope fixes the problem.
Please let me know if this works for you or not, so
we may proceed to roll this into a general release.

I apologise that this has taken so long.
We were unable to get a small example which demostrated the problem.

Thank you.
