[netcdfgroup] trouble with netcdf-4.1.2-rc1 + hdf5-1.8.6 combo

Hello all,

I have been getting bad values in NetCDF-4 files created with
rc = nf_create_par("test.nc4", IOR(NF_CLOBBER,NF_NETCDF4), MPI_COMM_WORLD, 
info, UNIT)
 .
 .
rc = NF_PUT_VARA(UNIT, dstid, start, cnt, f90ptr3)

The contents of f90ptr3 on each process are okay yet many locations in
the file have values like 9.96920996839e+36

I get the odd values with netcdf-4.1.2-rc1 + hdf5-1.8.6 and go away with
netcdf-4.1.1 + hdf5-1.8.5-patch1 using the same application.

I'd like to continue to narrow down the variables.  Is it safe to use
hdf5-1.8.6 with netcdf-4.1.1?

hdf5-1.8.5-patch1 with netcdf-4.1.2-rc1?
