[netCDF #FEE-497418]: NCIO_MAXBLOCKSIZE bug

Hi Harald,

> there has been a bug in libsrc/posixio.c for a long time which
> manifests itself when providing a sizehint which is larger than

> Netcdf-3 files, it falls back to using the default blocksize
> (which may be poor on some systems) instead of using the maximum

I've tested your bug fix in our current development sources, and it
works fine on tested platforms.  It should be in the next release.

Thanks for contributing this!
