I just added a test for this to the test program nf_test/f90tst_fill2, and
it worked fine, not writing anything and returning with no error.  But that
wasn't a parallel program, so the situation may be different (though I don't
think it should be different) when invoking a parallel write.

However, I'm having trouble building and running a parallel test that does
the same thing, so I can't answer the question yet, unfortunately ...
