Hi,
There's a bug in ncdump in the netCDF-3.3 release. If a variable has
more than 1000 values in its last dimension, ncdump will incorrectly
output a ";" instead of a "," separator after one of the values.
A description of the problem and a patch to fix it are available from
the "Known Problems with the netCDF 3.3 Distribution" Web page at
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/known_problems.html
This is where we'll be accumulating any other problems and workarounds
reported with the new release. A subsequent minor release will include
the accumulated fixes.
Thanks to Alain Coat for reporting the bug.
