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.

--Russ
