maximum NCL variable size

Greetings,
My question is very similar to one that was asked a couple of months ago
on this list, but I was unable to find any response. My apologies if it
was solved and I missed it somehow.

I am trying to read in a field of type 'float' from 214 netcdf files
using addfiles. The variable dimensions in each file are [1] x [37] x
[225] x [301] for a total of over 500 million points.
The code snippet for this is:
    fils = systemfunc ("ls "+indir+"*.nc") ; file paths
    f = addfiles(fils, "r")
    ListSetType(f,"cat")
    ice = f[:]->ICE_PROB

The error I'm getting is:
fatal:Aggregating variable ICE_PROB from file list variable f as
specified would exceed maximum NCL variable size
fatal:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 24 in file
create_cip_prod_histograms.ncl

I'm running NCL version 6.0.0 so I didn't think I'd having any problems
reading in such a large variable but this might be related to something
different entirely. Here is the 'uname -a' output from my system:
Linux angus 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Mar 22 17:26:33 UTC 2012 x86_64
GNU/Linux

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Cory
