[netCDF #MRB-844393]: make check failed

Hello Juanjo,

After a bit of investigation, we've come to the conclusion that the issue
is likely with the test itself, not with an error with the pnetcdf
functionality.  This test runs fine as a single process, and only began
failing recently when we started invoking it via 'mpiexec', with more than
2 processes.  I've spent a lot of time trying to track down where an error
would have been introduced, and I cannot find a place in our archives where
the test passed with multiple processes.

I will continue to investigate this and work on fixing the test so that it
works properly.  In the meantime, as long as your pnetcdf library passed
'make testing', I think you should be ok and can ignore this error.

Thank you very much for bringing this to our attention!

Have a good week,

-Ward
