patch for bug

Hi,

I'm trying to use KST as an online plotting tool for my project. As it turns
out the FileReporter is not usable for this, KST quickly uses full CPU to read
out the file. Therefor I tried to use the NetCDF reporter. But apparently the
NetCDF reporter does not allow this, my report stays empty until I stop the
reporter.

This can easily be fixed by adding the NC_SHARE flag when creating the report
file. A patch is applied (for both toolchain-2.5 and master).

As a result I can easily show plots online while reporting at 500Hz (only 20
variables though) without consuming a full CPU :), or even using a lot of CPU
overall.
