Hi Mondher,

Sorry, we haven't been able to reproduce the problem here and we think
it might be because of a change since the netCDF version you are
using, but that wouldn't explain why it worked for you on a 64-bit
architecture but not on a 32-bit architecture.

Nevertheless, it would help to know if the problem still exists in the
latest snapshot, which has been undergoing daily changes in the DAP
support code to adapt to feedback we've been getting from users.  But
this is complicated by the fact that we see a different problem
currently with use of PGI on 32-bit platforms that prevents building:

When the above problem is solved, we may have a snapshot that you can
use for testing.  You should be able to check the status of Linux PGI
32-bit builds on our snapshot testing page:

Thanks for your patience while we try to solve various problems
holding up the release of 4.1.  We have no dedicated support staff and
only 3 netCDF developers, so while questions like yours are important
to us, we can't always respond to them as quickly as we would like.
