Thanks!

Yes, you are quite right. Unfortunately there is also the challenge of getting 
"make check" to work in such cases. I have fixed this, and also added this test 
case to the nightly netCDF testing.

This fix will be in the netCDF snapshot tomorrow.

Thanks, this is now fixed, as can be seen here:

I have fixed this as well.
