Lynton-
I have just checked in a partial fix
for your problem. There were 3 different
kinds of problems.

1. ncgen was improperly handling datalists
   with vlens. This is the primary fix.
2. the version of your example that I had
   had a couple of errors in it, namely,
   the data for compound type fields must
   be enclosed in {...} when the field
   is non-scalar.
3. Even after fixing 1 and 2, your example
   causes HDF5 library failures. I will
   be working on that separately.

I inserted your example (with #2 fixed
and with the causes of #3 commented out)
in netcdf/ncdump/cdl4/ref_tst_vlen_data2.cdl
and it is now part of the test set.
I am not closing this issue just yet until
you have had a chance to test it.
