Hi Kenton,

This is due to using an old version HDF5 library with which to build netCDF-4.

In more detail, there was a bug in HDF5-1.8.7 and earlier that we didn't test 
for in the corresponding netCDF version. More recent netCDF versions detect
the HDF5 bug when built with HDF5-1.8.7 or earlier, but build fine with 
HDF5 versions 1.8.8 and later. If you have to rebuild HDF5 from source anyway, 
I would recommend just using the latest version 1.8.13, as that's what we're 
testing with now.
