[netCDF #MNE-528365]: Segmentation Fault

Hello Diarmaid,

I'm not sure what error you are encountering, as I'm able to run the program 
you provided without error. I'm testing in linux, but can try to recreate on an 
OSX system if need be.  First, however, I wanted to double-check a few things 
with you.

What versions of netCDF-C and netCDF-Fotran are you using?  Can you provide the 
config.log file for one or both of these installations?  Does 'make check' work 
properly, e.g. do the built-in tests work for you?  Also, what version of HDF5 
are you using?

This information should help me figure out what's going on, or if it's at least 
something dependent on your system.  In the meantime, I will attempt to 
recreate this on OSX.
