[netCDF #TSB-411735]: NcGroup::adVar() hangs on garbage input

Hello Elizabeth,

Thank you for the bug report; I'll open a ticket on GitHub for it.  If you are 
ever so inclined, feel free to submit issues directly through our GitHub site 
as well; we are transitioning to GitHub for issue management (although our 
email-based support will also remain in place).  We've moved to GitHub as an 
organization for most of our projects, so it makes sense to track issues there 
publicly as well.

Thanks again, have a great day!
