test failure when built against netcdf-c 4.6.2

[bnordgren]

Built against: hdf5 1_10_4 and netcdf-c 4.6.2. Downgrading to netcdf-c 4.6.1 fixes the issue. Re-upgrading to 4.6.2 brings it back.

Failure is:

make[4]: Leaving directory '/opt/netcdf-fortran/nf03_test'

Failures seem to be concentrated in the "nf_get_vara..." family of routines. "test-suite.log" is attached, as is the Singularity container build script which produces this error (from a plain ubuntu 16.04 docker image)

These are fixed in master; we'll have the new netCDF-Fortran out fairly quickly to address this. Thanks!

The filter mechanism is a bit fragile and I would need much more information
to figure out the failure. Unless you need the filter mechanism, I would
add the flag --disable-filter-testing to your ./configure command to disable this test.
