This is long shot but here it goes.
We recently tried updating netcdf to version 4.3.1.1 from version 4.2.1
in the base libraries in the GEOS model. We found that when trying to
create a diagnostic output file we were getting a crash in line 288 of
nc4var.c which looks like it has something to do with choosing a chunk
size. When it crashed we were in the call to create the time variable
in the file with an nf_def_var call. Version 4.2.1 and earlier were
running fine. The interesting thing is that the time is an unlimited
dimension. When we changed the time variable to a fixed length dimension
4.3.1.1 ran fine.
Unfortunately we have not been able to reproduce this in a small example
program but has there been some change underneath the hood that that
might have occurred that we should be taking a look at?
Thanks
