ARSCAM/ARPRAM - ALGORITHM FAILURE

Hi, I've been trying to solve this problem on and off for a few weeks
now. I have a similar script plotting slightly different variables
(SSS rather than SST) but otherwise the same structure working.

I have uploaded the following to the incoming ftp area:

When I run prob.ncl I get

I noted on the NCL site it says to report this bug as it comes up from
time to time and the solutions are not always easy.

If I change
    plots = new(12,graphic)
to
    plots = new(3,graphic)

and
    gsn_panel(wks,plots,(/6,2/),pnlres)
to
    gsn_panel(wks,plots,(/3,1/),pnlres)

it works perfectly. The issue is that I typically need to plot to all
of the panels where I read in many more datasets.

Might there be some quick fix for this where the numbers are slightly
modified (e.g. smoothed) but don't affect the basic result? I've tried
many things without overcoming the bug.
