Report from Ansely Manke:
I've attached a file with a short c program that
demonstrates what I'm seeing. I don't know that we'd call
this a constraint, so that was a misleading description.

The thing I'm mimicking is a sequence where I read the 2-D
coordinate variables, make some decisions about the size of
a subset region, and then define index ranges and strides
for reading other variables.  Reading the full variable
happens correctly, but the read with strides winds up
messing up the data.  Here it shows up returning some valid
data and some zero's, but in other sequences of events it
seems to be actually mis-ordered.

I notice that the results are correct if the initial read of
the variable uses counts that are size-1. So that might be a
clue.  And the read is correct if I either close and reopen
the dataset after reading the original full variable, or if
I don't do that step of first reading the whole grid. It's
also fine with NetCDF 4.2.1.1.

-Ansley

Problem was two-fold:
1. struct Getvara has the dsttype field as OC_Type rather than nc_type
2. the dap odometer code dapnew_segment was incorrectly
   handling strides > 1: specifically, the stop position was incorrect.

Closing and reopening the dataset between the two reads fixes the
incorrect data return

Setting the count to one less in the full data read also fixes the
incorrect data return
