Hi Max,
I saw your support question and tried to duplicate the problem
you reported:

However, when I run ncdump built from the new netCDF-4.0
distribution, it seems to work fine:
$ ncdump ftst_types2.nc
netcdf ftst_types2 {
types:
compound cmp_w_ary {
int A(2, 3) ;
} // cmp_w_ary
}
Are you sure you're using the newly built ncdump rather than
an old netCDF-3 ncdump?
