Dear netCDF group

I have the same problem that was related by Daniel Potter in this message 
https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/mailing_lists/archives/netcdfgroup/2016/msg00320.html

Further googling this problem, I see that it seems to come from this issue: 
https://github.com/Unidata/netcdf-cxx4/issues/30.
I do not understand exactly what the problem come from but I see that the last 
version of netcdf-cxx4 (v4.3.0) speaks to fix it.
So I compile the last version of netcdf-cxx4 and the last version of netcdf 
(4.6.1).
The problem is still their (impossible to add a variable of type string) but 
now it fails with a core dump that arrive in the HDF5 library and no more throw 
an exception.
I try the suggestion of Elizabeth A. Fischer but it seems that no type is 
associated with my NcFile.
Have you any suggestion?

Thanks for your attention
