Oops, that's the trouble with development snapshots, they're usually not ready 
for release.
If you really want to get rid of the two "make check" errors you saw with 
4.1.2-beta1, you
could go into the public svn trees for netCDF and try revision 442 from Sept 
22, but I
can't guarantee that wouldn't have other AIX errors.  We generally don't test 
on lots of
platforms until we're very close to release ...
