Description

Running Valgrind on autotest/gdrivers/netcdf.py gives the following warning:

A quick read of netCDFDataset::SetProjection shows that in that context dfScale is passed to oSRS.SetTM() without being initialized. (That could also true for the other parameters)

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Fixed in r12878 which also substantially simplifies projection handling, and stops attaching a copy of "geolocation" metadata to the dataset that largely duplicates what is already in the SRS. Also fixes a few typos in the projection parameters (which lead to the issue noted in this bug).
