Hi Jamie,
I was able to reproduce the problem that resulted in the error:
"add_connect: too many connects, cannot add another"
using your code and an OPeNDAP-enabled version of NCL 5.1.0. An
internal temporary list variable was not being deleted, with the
result that the files that it referenced were not being closed as
they should have been when the user-level file list variable was
deleted. Since the OPeNDAP NetCDF client allows no more than 64
simultaneous file references, this resulted in an error within 2
iterations of the month by month loop in your code. A fix has been
checked in and will be part of the next release 5.1.1, which should
be soon. We would be interested for you (or anyone else motivated to
do so) to test out the new code before we release the new version.
Please contact Mary Haley to get an appropriate binary for your system.
Thanks for pointing out this problem.
