I guess I see your point though - there are probably a lot of files out there with `byte` variables that should be interpreted as unsigned. Are you proposing we...

Do you want `np.uint8` if if `valid_range` is unsigned, or if `valid_min` > 0? The only thing that concerns me about this is that up until now we have left...

MFDataset doesn't explicitly support accessing thredds datasets - it might work, I've just never tried it. Does this error happen on windows even with a single URL opened with `netCDF4.Dataset`?...

All of these examples work for me on macos x and linux. It must be a platform or version specific issue with the netcdf-c library. Since the python interface does...

date2index assumes the time variable is monotonic, so yes - this is a limitation of the algorithm (but I wouldn't call it a bug).

Seems wrong to me to have a non-monotonic time dimension. After all, in this universe time is monotonic :-)

@ocefpaf, would you mind printing out the value of pathlen, right after the first call to nc_inq_path?

@ocefpaf: I've updated netCDF4.pxi and _netCDF4.pyx to use malloc and free imported from cython (which I believe allocates memory on the python heap) instead of using the libc version directly...

according to @ocefpaf, the segfault still occurs on CentOS6. I'm out of ideas at this point.
