Hello,

Would it be possible to get the `bob.nc` file you are working with, so that I 
might take a look and try to replicate this? I have tested this using different 
`.nc` files on my own MacOS system using `ncdump -f f` and `ncdump -f c`, but 
the output looks correct/as expected.  If we were able to find a netCDF file 
that let us recreate this issue, I would be able to step into the debugger and 
try to figure out what is going on.

Thank you,

-Ward
