The above message contained the following:

> Here is the build script showing bad F90 test results from a netcdf 
> build on an opteron system with pgf90 for x86-64. Any suggestions?
> C and F77 interfaces seems to build fine with pgcc and pgf90.

Believe it or not, there's a bug in pgf90.  You'll need to patch it in
order to remove the bug and have a successful "make test".

The necessary information can be found at

Zot!
