[netCDFJava #YCN-767203]: Using native NetCDF 4 library with assertions enabled

Peter,

How are you building your test program? I keep getting a NullPointerException 
at line 47 (getting the format).

I agree with John, this feels like some kind of conflict, though I'm not quite 
sure how given the file is closed between calls from the different library.
