Hi Charlie,

Thanks for the bug report, and the sample file.  With the scope of changes made 
for 4.4.0 with the new file format support, this is the sort of thing I was 
worried might happen.  Thank you very much for testing the release candidates 
out, I will open a JIRA issue shortly and work on getting this resolved ASAP.

Thanks again, have a great day!

> ncgen 4.3.3.1 works but 4.4.0 (today) fails to parse in.cdl.
> i think this has been broken for many weeks in 4.4.0.
> it seems possible that ncgen barfs when it encounters
> values affixed with "l" for long when generating netcdf3 files.
> however, i thought that bug had been fixed long ago and it
> was decided that "l" means int when referring to netCDF3 files
> for backwards compatibility to days when NC_LONG was the norm.
> or maybe it's a different issue entirely.
