I have experienced this problem (no error, subsequent successful reads, but 
fails
to go to disk) frequently over the last year.  I have been unable to produce a
test case, however, and have relied on ncsync'ing at a number of spots in my 
code
in order to get around the problem.  I have also seen the exact saem thing 
happen
to variable data using ncvarput1.  Another strange feature is that with my same
code, if I link it with netcdf2.3 (from spring 1993) the ncsyncs are unnecesary,
while they are absolutely necessary with 2.3.2 (from 4th qtr 1993), we havent
tested the problem under the newest revision.

If this is a bug in cdf, it would be nice to find it ...
