New OpenDAP (>3.4) fails many NCO regressions

[Harry Mangalam]

Just an FYI - after fighting thru multiple layers of errors, it looks like finally, OpenDAP is responsible for some errors (and admits it).

Running the latest commits (12:30pm, Jan 04/06) will give 0 or 1 regression error (depending on your x86 architecture) when running against the opendap server on sand:
http://sand.ess.uci.edu/cgi-bin/dods/nph-dods/dodsdata
but will generate several errors when running against hiperstore:
http://128.195.169.30/cgi-bin/dods/nph-dods/dodsdata

I'm writing up a posting to the opendap people now.

and unfortunately many of the benchmarks also fail: hitting hiperstore:

I guess the only thing to do if they can't fix this by Monday is to strip the latest DAP server from hiperstore and opendap/sdsc and install the older one.

Yes, non-working DAP servers are not very helpful.
I'm confused as to which versions work and which don't. Does DAP 3.5.1 work? I do not want to go back
to 3.4.x.
