Maximum netCDF file size available in NCL

Hi All

We are working with an ncl program that's been post processing a heavy volume of wrf data. So far the files have been large but NCL has tolerated the requirements. However, those size requirements (both horizontal and temporal) have increased and the script begins to falter. This happens using both methods of making a netcdf file in NCL, the "quick" where you "file->var = var" the data into the open file and the "efficient" way when you have a define mode and a data-write mode. Is there a size limit in working with NCL (either in general or just using the NCL executables that comes from the earth system grid pages). Also is there any settings in the unix shell or in NCL that will let us write to the larger file sizes.

Thanks Much
Bill
