Hi Mario, Thanks very much for reporting this bug and testing a fix. I'm embarrassed to admit that I somehow missed your posting of this problem last September, or I would have made it a high priority to fix. We do have a large file test for bytes and shorts in one of our tests (nc_test/quick_large_files.c), but the test is not adequate to find this problem. The fix you provided is what I came up with independently, but I need to test it more thoroughly and provide a better test for the problem. Again, please accept our apologies for missing your bug report the first time. In the future, if you send any other bug reports to address@hidden, they get automatically entered into our support system where they are much more unlikely to be lost or ignored. Thanks! --Russ Russ Rew UCAR Unidata Program address@hidden http://www.unidata.ucar.edu Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: HSP-129967 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
