One more thing.  I'd be interested in whether ncks linked against
3.6.0-beta6 returned a write error or simply wrote the file with no
indication that anything was amiss.  The latter is possible with
netCDF-3.5.1 and earlier because of undetected integer overflows with
large file system offsets within the library, but with the beta
software I would expect an error if ncks tried to create a classic
file that violated format constraints or at least an assertion failure
from the library.

If ncks appeared to work fine with no indication of any error, I would
consider that a bug in netCDF-3.6.0-beta6 that we need to investigate
further.
