re: github netcdf-c issue #271
This occurs for several reasons, including:
1. using H5Aopen_name instead of H5Aexists to test if attribute exists.
2. using H5Eset_auto instead of H5Eset_auto2.
There are probably others that will have to be extinguished as encountered.
p.s Hope I did not overdo this and kill too much.
This consists of a persistent attribute named
_NCProperties plus two computed attributes
_IsNetcdf4 and _SuperblockVersion.
See the 'Provenance Attributes' section
of docs/attribute_conventions.md for details.
