Segmentation fault/core dumps when using NCL calendar and string parsing functions

Hello,

I'm running NCL 5.2.1 (opendap enabled) on a machine, but keep getting
segmenation faults/core dumps when trying to use either the NCL
calendar functions or some of the string parsing functions. For
example, I ran the code from the ut_calendar documenation page:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 begin
  ;
  ; Array to hold month abbreviations. Don't store anything in index
  ; '0' (i.e. let index 1=Jan, 2=Feb, ..., index 12=Dec).
  ;
   month_abbr = (/"","Jan","Feb","Mar","Apr","May","Jun","Jul","Aug","Sep", \
                    "Oct","Nov","Dec"/)
  ;
  ; Time values and units.
  ;
    time = (/17522904, 17522928, 17522952, 17522976, 17523000/)
    time@units = "hours since 1-1-1 00:00:0.0"
 ;
 ; Convert to UTC time.
 ;
   utc_date = ut_calendar(time, 0)
 ;
 ; Store return information into more meaningful variables.
 ;
   year = floattointeger(utc_date(:,0)) ; Convert to integer for
   month = floattointeger(utc_date(:,1)) ; use sprinti
   day = floattointeger(utc_date(:,2))
   hour = floattointeger(utc_date(:,3))
   minute = floattointeger(utc_date(:,4))
   second = utc_date(:,5)
 ;
 ; Write out strings in the format "hhZ dd mmm yyyy".
 ;

   date_str = sprinti("%0.2iZ ", hour) + sprinti("%0.2i ", day) + \
              month_abbr(month) + " " + sprinti("%0.4i", year)

   print(date_str)
 end
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and get the following when I run it:

/bin/bash: line 1: 24760 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ncl <
./formatTimestamps.ncl

shell returned 139

Here's the info on the machine I'm running this on:

Linux kerfoot-lin.marine.rutgers.edu 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP
Thu Dec 23 16:04:50 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any insight/suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

John
