> Dear NetCDF support,

> I wanted to report a bug in the source code of f90/netcdf_expanded.f90
> (4.1.3) that could potentially produce a crash.
> 
> The bug is in line 734 of the source code (routine 
> nf90_put_var_2D_FourByteInt)
> print *, values(1, 1), values(1, 2), values(1, 3), values(1, 4)
> 
> This debugging print statement is potentially dangerous for several

> 
> 1) The print statement is unexpected and could foul up peoples output

> 
> 2) The elements "values(1,2)" etc may not exist and could hence result

Howdy Remko!

Thanks, this has been fixed for the next release.

In the next release, the fortran libraries are separate from the C library 
(which is still required for the fortran libraries to build.)

Try a beta release of the new fortran libraries here:

Thanks,
