loading contributed.ncl in a where document fails with ncl 6.2.0

Hi,

When I run

ncl << EOF
begin
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"
end
EOF

with ncl 6.1.2, it runs fine. The output is usual ncl header info:

  Copyright (C) 1995-2013 - All Rights Reserved
  University Corporation for Atmospheric Research
  NCAR Command Language Version 6.1.2

  See http://www.ncl.ucar.edu/ for more details.

When I run it with ncl 6.2.0, I get hundred of fatal errors. I've
cut-n-pasted the first few below.
I am able to load contributed.ncl when I run ncl interactively.
I am also able to load my own ncl scripts from within a where document.
The problem seems to be unique to loading contributed.ncl within a where
document.
Could this be looked into please?

Thanks, Keith
