Thanks for reporting that!  I've fixed the sources for the 4.2.1 release.

No, sorry, we lost our local parallel I/O expertise a while ago, so it may
take a while to fix that problem.  I've created an issue page that you can
use to monitor progress or comment on the issue:

  https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/jira/browse/NCFORTRAN-17

We'll try to fix it before the next Fortran netCDF release, but I'm not sure 
when that will be.  If you have a patch for the configure script that we could 
post in the meantime to our "known problems" web page, it might help someone 
else with the same problem.

Thanks again for reporting the problem and providing fixes.
