Dear Mary,

As you may remember, I also reported this 'floating overflow' problem with
my ncarg5.2.1. I tried for both Intel compilers (built from the source code)
and GNU compilers (used the binary version), both have this problem. I don't
know if my problem are related to the problem reported here, but would like
to let you know.

Regards,
Jemma
