[R-sig-Geo] netcdf file limitation

[Michael Sumner]

It's a limitation of ncdf4 (that's why the error refers to ncvar_put). Just
write the vector out in parts using the 'start' and 'count' arguments.

There's plenty of examples of doing that in the help page for ncvar_put,
though it's a bit abstract if you've not encountered that kind of thing
before.

(It seems strange to have to write to disk in pieces from memory,
interesting times we live in.)

Cheers, Mike.
