[netCDF #TFO-412535]: "make check" failures with NetCDF (C) 4.4.0?

Hi Carl,

We're seeing this failure in other places, and I'm trying to nail down where 
it's coming from.  The build system *should* be copying over a file, `ctest.c` 
from `ref_ctest.c` in the `ncdump` directory, but this isn't happening.  While 
I get this figured out, you should be able to just copy the file over manually 
and get past this error.

My apologies!
