I took a quick look and have the following notes. 1. fix_nccopy_dumplib.patch seems right to me and we should apply it. Probably, we need to search the code as a whole to see if there are any other occurrences. 2. fix_NC_MAX_NAME_overflow.patch; Not sure about this. An alternative is to truncate the name to NC_MAX_NAME when it is copied out rather than cause an error. =Dennis Heimbigner Unidata Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: DOY-885966 Department: Support netCDF Priority: Normal Status: Closed
