[netCDF #DMO-236308]: NETCDF Segmentation fault issue with large data sizes

Hello David,

I was able to compile and run the `netcdf.c` file you provided without issue, 
although valgrind does point out some interesting issues I will need to 
address.  I am running on a 64-bit Ubuntu system with 4GB ram; can you provide 
further information regarding the environment(s) you are testing this in and 
seeing the failure?  I can try to create a VM to mirror your environment and 
will see if I can recreate and fix this issue.

Thank you,

-Ward
