My test seemed to work fine.  Here's a context diff for the fix,
just adding the line

                  fSet(ncp->flags, NC_64BIT_OFFSET);

after line 1319 of libsrc/v1hpg.c, so in context it now reads:

                if (magic[sizeof(ncmagic)-1] == 0x1) {
                  gs.version = 1;
                } else if (magic[sizeof(ncmagic)-1] == 0x2) {
                  gs.version = 2;
                  fSet(ncp->flags, NC_64BIT_OFFSET);

If it's convenient, I'd appreciate your testing this instead of your
patch, to see if it works for you without the necessity of adding
NC_64BIT_OFFSET to your open calls.  Thanks!
