Re: ncl 6.1.1

Folks,

Rick determined that the problem seems to be if you have a "wsMaximumSize" setting in your .hluresfile.

For example, if you have something like:

*wsMaximumSize: 32556688

then you will likely see this problem for any NCL script that creates a contour plot. Note that it
doesn't occur for *all* contour scripts. We are looking into this.

A possible work-around is to comment out or remove this setting, if you don't need it, or to increase the size.

I was able to increase it to this value, and have the errors in our tests go away:

*wsMaximumSize: 100000000

We will likely do another release quickly, if we determine this is a show-stopper bug.
