Hi Ian,

Did you explicitly define a "_FillValue" attribute for the time
coordinate dimension?  If so, was the type something other than
NF_DOUBLE?

I've managed to duplicate the problem in a small Fortran program
from your description, but only by explicitly defining a
_FillValue attribute for the unlimited coordinate dimension that
did not match the type for the associated coordinate variable.

It seems to me that should be an error when the attribute is
first defined, not later when you try to write a value for it.

I'll look into this more carefully, but a workaround for the bug
for now would be to make sure the _FillValue attribute type
matches the variable type.

Thanks for reporting the problem.
