[netCDF #RQB-854711]: MPI/IO with unlimited dimensions

Hi Sebastian,

Could you tell us if this recently fixed bug sounds like what you
found?

  https://bugtracking.unidata.ucar.edu/browse/NCF-250

If so, the fix will be in netCDF release 4.3.1, a release candidate 
for which will soon be announced.

> My configuration:
> hdf5 1.8.11
> netcdf 4.3
> openmpi (default ubuntu installation)

> Compile command:
> mpicxx test.cpp -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -lnetcdf -lhdf5_hl
> -lhdf5 -lz
> (netcdf and hdf5 are installed in /usr/local)
