Some issues when writing variable size greater than 2 GB in ncl_6.0.0_beta

I successfully installed the new ncl_6.0.0_beta in 64 bit Linux machines. I
noted an error when we write the variable whose size is greater than 2GB
into a netcdf. The error is as follows.

ncendef: ncid 131072: NetCDF: One or more variable sizes violate format
constraints
ncvarput: ncid 131072: NetCDF: Operation not allowed in define mode
fatal:NetCdf: An error occurred while attempting to write variable (time) to

The script is given below.

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/diagnostics_cam.ncl"
begin

in2=addfile("cntrl_precip_1978_2008.nc","r")

rf=in2->RF
rf!0="time"
rf!1="lat"
rf!2="lon"

time=in2->TIME1
TIME = ut_calendar(time, 0)
year = floattointeger( TIME(:,0) )
month = floattointeger( TIME(:,1) )
day = floattointeger( TIME(:,2) )
ddd = day_of_year(year, month, day)
yyyyddd = year*1000 + ddd

rf_clim=clmDayTLL(rf,yyyyddd)
smth_rf_clim=smthClmDayTLL(rf_clim,3)
rf_anom=calcDayAnomTLL(rf,yyyyddd,smth_rf_clim)

diro ="./"
filo = "dly.rfa.rmv3har.1978.08.nc"
system("/bin/rm -f "+diro+filo) ; rm any pre-existing file
f = addfile(diro+filo, "c")
f->rfa_rmv3h =rf_anom
end

The printVarSummary(rf_anom) gives the following.

Variable: rf_anom
Type: float
Total Size: 2318745600 bytes
            579686400 values
Number of Dimensions: 3
Dimensions and sizes: [time | 11322] x [lat | 160] x [lon | 320]
Coordinates:
            time: [ 0..11322]
            lat: [-89.14151942646112..89.14151942646112]
            lon: [ 0..358.875]
Number Of Attributes: 2
  _FillValue : -1e+34
  long_name : Anomalies: PRECIP*86400

Note:There is no error we save the variable whose size less than 2GB.
