Try this:

      subroutine ncsub(wrk, nlon, nlat, 
     $                 nlon_corner, nlat_corner, ndx, ndy)
      include 'netcdf.inc'
      integer iddim(2),istart(2), icount(2), istride(2),imap(2)
      real wrk(nlon, nlat)
C open netcdf file 'out.nc'
      ierr=nf_create('out.nc',nf_clobber,idnc)
C we are now in define mode; define dimensions
      ierr=nf_def_dim(idnc,'nlon_sub',ndx, idlon_sub)
      ierr=nf_def_dim(idnc,'nlat_sub',ndy, idlat_sub)
      iddim(1)=idlon_sub
      iddim(2)=idlat_sub
      ierr=nf_def_var(idnc,'wrk',nf_float,2,iddim, idwrk)
      ierr=nf_enddef(idnc)
C we are now in data mode
      istart(1)=nlon_corner
      istart(2)=nlat_corner
      icount(1)=ndx
      icount(2)=ndy
      istride(1)=1      ! was: istride(1) = nlon
      istride(2)=1
      imap(1)=1
      imap(2)=nlon      ! was: imap(2) = 1
      print*, ' istart ', istart
      print*, ' icount ', icount
     
      ierr=nf_put_varm_real(idnc,idwrk,istart,icount,istride,imap,wrk)
      print*, ' ierr ', ierr
      print*, nf_strerror(ierr)
      ierr= nf_close(idnc)
      stop
      end

istride(1)
    is the amount by which the "lon" index is incremented when
    iterating through the array (=1).
imap(1)
    is the distance between adjacent elements in the "lon" dimension 
    (=1).
imap(2)
    is the distance between adjacent elements in the "lat" dimension 
    (=nlon).

Please let me know if this helps.
