The above error means that the following function was called:

    NCAGTC(NCID,VARID,ATTNAME,BUF,ATTLEN,RCODE)

and that the value of ATTLEN was less than the length of the character
attribute ATTNAME.

You'll have to look through your code to discover where this occurs.
You can use the ncdump(1) utility to discover the length of the
attribute.
