Howdy Tony!

We were never able to reproduce your problem here, but the memory handling in
ncdump has recently be rewritten to handle netCDF-4 features. I wonder if you
would like to try getting the snapshot again and trying it. (Snapshot is
available from the netCDF web page:

Let me know what happens...

Thanks,
