[netCDF #OBA-984657]: NETCDF nc_put_att_double crashing in netCDF-C version 4.3.3.1

Hello Nalini,

My *sincere* apologies for the delay in responding to you.    I can confirm 
that this *is* a bug in the 4.3.3.1 release of netCDF-C.  I can confirm that 
the issue is fixed in the current development branch, 'master', and that it is 
also fixed in the current full release, 4.6.0.  I've worked backwards a bit and 
it looks like the issue was fixed as far back as the 4.4.1.1 release.   I would 
recommend updating to the most recent release, 4.6.0, but you should be able to 
update at least to 4.4.1.1 and see that this issue is resolved.

Again, my apologies for the delayed response; I hope this information is 
helpful,

-Ward

> We came across a crash in the NETCDF library when trying to use 
> "nc_put_att_double" function. The crash occurs on Windows, Linux and Mac. The 
> workflow is to write the attribute _FillValue to a variable in an already 
> existing netCDF file. I have attached a standalone file that reproduces the 
> issue.
