Re: paleo_outline() and "mpDataSetName" problem with the new version 4.2.0.a034

Hi Mary -

This is the same paleo_outline problem that we have seen before. I get
around it by using ncl.new. I just tested ncl 4.2.0.a34
locally and it hangs, just as Yonggang Liu experienced. When I use
ncl.new the code runs fine.
