[netCDF #UCR-300811]: make check fail on ncdump with NetCDF 4.4.0 (with attachments)

Hello Benjamin,

You aren't doing anything wrong, it appears that there was an issue in the 
download.  I suspect the file 'ctest.c' is empty, and it should not be.  You 
should be able to copy the file 'ref_ctest.c' into 'ctest.c' to resolve this 
issue.  

I have several docker containers which I use for building/testing/debugging 
netCDF; if you're interested in any of these, feel free to take a look as they 
are publicly available and (if passed the 'bash' command), contain the 
Dockerfile and scripts used to build and test netcdf.  These may be of useful 
reference.  The docker containers (available via docker pull) are:

unidata/nctests:serial //<- Serial netCDF
unidata/nctests:openmpi //<- Parallel I/O

I hope this helps,

-Ward
