NetCDF issue?

[Matt Alonso]

Hello folks,

I've been silent on this list for a while so let me start by saying thank
you to all the developers and all the users for their hard work in getting
Grads 2.0 out the door.

The issue I am having could very well be as a result of my own ignorance but
I am unable to find the solution.  The issue comes about when I am trying to
display a time series of WaveWatch 3 data with more than one NetCDF data
file (they all have the same spatial attributes) open at a time.  Here is
some environment information:

-64bit machine running HostGIS linux (for all intents and purposes it is a
slightly modified version of slackware)
-GrADS 2.0.a1
-NetCDF files are all generated with wgrib2 v0.1.7.1 using the command
"wgrib2_v0.1.7.1 wna.t<fcst time>.grib.grib2 -netcdf <fcst time>.nc" (the
executable is pointing to the correct wgrib2)

The problem comes about when I am attempting to display time series of
several runs by setting the lat and lon to constants, setting the time equal
to all time periods in the file ('set t 1 61'), and displaying the values
from particular files by looping over all the files via 'set dfile <file
number>'.  When the script runs I get the following output:

NetCDF Error (gancgrid, nc_get_vara_double): NetCDF: Start+count exceeds
dimension bound
Data Request Error:  Error for variable 'ugrd_surface'
Operation Error:  Error from mag function
  Error ocurred at column 1
DISPLAY error:  Invalid expression
  Expression = smth9(mag(ugrd_surface,vgrd_surface)*1.9)

The command being run is "d smth9(mag(ugrd_surface,vgrd_surface)*1.9)"
(although it seems to occur for any and all variables) and the above error
only occurs when attempting to display data for any file other than #1.  If
I manually set all the dimension data (lat, lon, etc) for one file at a time
and then close that file and open the next in the series it works fine.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for all of your help and please let me know if any more
information is needed.

Cheers,
Matt
