The way to fix this was to remove the netCDF file and replace the file with an unmodified file every time you run the program while troubleshooting.

For people who prefer not to spend weeks figuring this out on their own,
I just point out that the NCDF_File object in the Coyote Library shields
you from knowing all the details of how this works, and gives (perhaps)
much more informative and descriptive error messages to alert you to
problems. :-)

Cheers,

David
