Does ncl give the right time span for this netcdf file?

Hi, all

    I met a problem when dealing a netcdf file with NCL 5.1.1. The netcdf file is

"psl_A1_2001_2100.nc", downloaded from

"ftp-esg.ucllnl.org /data16/sresa1b/atm/mo/psl/csiro_mk3_5/run1/".

The time span from 2000-09-16 to 2100-07-23 when I browse this nc file with ncBrowse ,(www.epic.noaa.gov/java/ncBrowse/)

while it span from 200201 to 210112 when I use the following scripts of NCL.

data_path = "..."
sub_data_path = " ..."
datafilename = "psl_A1_2001_2100.nc"
fi = addfile(data_path + sub_data_path + data_filename, "r")
time = fi->time
yyyymm = ut_calendar(time,-1)
print(yyyymm)
print(yyyymm(0)) ; yyyymm(0) is 200201

By the way, I just update the ncl to version 5.1.1, and ncl 5.0.0 can not deal with

the "noleap" calendar type of this files.

Thanks!
