Unfortunately, there is a race condition in the code
around various pieces of  global state.
So sometimes things will work and other times things will fail.
The only sure solution is to add mutual exclusion locks around
accesses to the global state. Adding this functionality should be
in the next release after 4.5; this, as I say, will be a couple of months,
although an experimental version may be available sooner than that.
I will post to the netcdf mailing list asking for volunteers to try it out.
