This cryptic message from the netcdf-2 library indicates that there
was an error attempting to convert or write data in the netcdf "header".

It is most likely a "write" error, as opposed to some conversion error.

In netcdf-3, we can distinguish between the the various errors more
clearly, and return a different, equally cryptic :-), error message.
