[netCDF #PDK-779646]: netcdf 4.1.3 with ifort 11.1

That looks like a symptom of a corrupted program file, e.g. in the /bin/sh 
program rather 
than the shell script nc_test/tst_nofill generated by libtool that's actually 
running the 
test.

Did the segfault leave a "core" file in the nc_test/ directory?  If so, can you 
change to
that directory and send us the output from running "file core"?  If that 
reveals the actual
program that was running when the segfault occurred, say "PROG", it would also 
be useful to
see a traceback from the core file, by running the command

  $ gdb PROG core
  (gdb) bt
  (gdb) quit
