[netCDF #ZKX-685122]: NetCDF-3.6.1 SEGV.

> 
> I recently built and installed NetCDF-3.6.1 for an RHE4, x86_64
> system and, to test the installation, invoked ncdump with no arguments
> just to make sure it would execute.  On one of the systems tried, it
> choked with a SEGV which I traced to a null pointer being passed to
> name_path() in ncdump.c.
> 
> I took the symptomatic approach with the fix for which the
> diffs are pasted below.  I doubt it's the best thing to do but I'm
> pressed for time here.
