The way that the sdfopen code figures out the initial time and time increment in a netcdf file is by using the udunits library, which does not recognize 365-day calendars. Initial time values determined by sdfopen may often be severely wrong! There were also well-documented memory leaks in the sdfopen code in v1.9.
