Support status for Netcdf-4

NCL team,

What is the support status for full Netcdf-4 format? The
documentation for supported file formats says "Start from version
6.1.0, NCL supports all NetCDF 4 new data types". I assume this means
full read and write support for Netcdf-4. However, the following
attempt to create a full Netcdf-4 file fails on Mac OS 10.8.2:

ncl 0> setfileoption ("nc", "Format", "NetCDF4")
ncl 1> f = addfile ("test1.nc", "c")
ncl 2> f->x = (/ 7., 8., 9. /)
        file: NclNewFile.c, line: 6850
        Could not get varnode->name: <x>
Segmentation fault

Note that this program works fine for the "NetCDF4Classic" format.
Please clarify the documentation. Thank you.
