Possible bug (?) with lists in 6.2.0

Hello,

I'm running into a potential bug with list variables in NCL 6.2.0 (and
apparently 6.1.x). In 6.1.0-beta, I would often disassociate data from
their parent variable when adding it to a list so that I could return lists
of data of various types from functions without worrying about keeping
around the original variable. Simple example (sans function):

test_data = ispan(0,10,1)
test_list = NewList("fifo")
ListPush(test_list, (/test_data/))
print(test_list[0])

That code ran fine in 6.1.0-beta, but since I've upgraded to 6.2.0, I've
been getting the following error at the print statement:

fatal:["Execute.c":1939]:Internal error
fatal:["Execute.c":8565]:Execute: Error occurred at or near line 3

Perhaps this behavior is intended, as I'm not really using lists in the way
they were conceived, but I found it to be quite a useful coding trick in
6.1.0-beta.
