Re: Segmentation fault

ncdump -h does not "read" the variables into memory.
It only prints the dimension and variable names and the attributes.

I speculate that

%> ncl_filedump foo.nc

will work fine also.

You are reading into memory variables that are too large for the
memory of your machine.

Look at the ncdump -h and see how much memory the varibles you are
reading require

      float x(10,20,30,40)

      size_x_bytes = 4*(10*20*30*40)

the 4 is because a flot is 4 bytes.

If the variables are type double use 8*(10*20*30*40)

If there are other variables that you are reading ... do the same.
The sum is how much memory you need.
