Joaquim, 

But I think in the case of your post, the netCDF driver has failed to 
"adjust" things to the GDAL pixel-is-area model properly because I didn't
realize the netCDF was pixel-is-point.  The important part to solve that
problem is to fix the driver to adjust the extents properly.   As a secondary
issue, the driver could return metadata indicating if the pixels should be
interpreted as points or areas. 

BTW, I don't remember fixing this netCDF problem, and I don't recall
seeing a corresponding bugzilla report.  If you don't submit a bugzilla
report it is highly likely that this will fade into my email box again and
never get fixed.  Of course, even with a bugzilla entry it might not get
fixed for a while, but I expect to be back working on the netcdf support
at some point. 

Best regards,
