716	Updated def_info.F and mod_scalars.F	arango	arango	"Some users are having issues with the '''FRCNAME''' global attribute in output NetCDF files because the list of files can be longer than the allocated length size for the '''string''' variable in '''def_info.F'''.  This is solved by changing the length from '''1024''' to '''1048'''.

Many thanks to Dezhou Yang, Kate Hedstrom and Kaitlin Alexander for [https://www.myroms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3059 reporting] this issue.

Also, updated '''mod_scalars.F''' to initialize the logical switches '''LdefQCK(ng)''' and '''LwrtQCK(ng)''' asociated the the Quicksave output NetCDF file.  This caused random crash behavior when running with lots of processors if the Quicksave output is off.  This problem is typical with un-initialized variables and multiple processors.  Such logical variables should be initialized to '''.FALSE.''' by the compiler, but sometimes it does not.  It is always a good strategy to initialize all the variables in a Fortran program!  I missed those.
