Is this a i686 or x86_64 version?

Here is what I found out: I can read your opendap just fine with my
v2.0.a5.oga.5 binaries for Mac OS X and Linux/i686, but it fails for the
x86_64 binary. There is a problem somewhere, needs debugging.

1) Could you please try Jennifer's x86_64 gradsdap binary (from COLA's site)
 and let me know whether it has the same problem?

2) In the meantime, can you try the Linux/i686 binaries? They should work
just fine on a x86_64 box.

  We should be able to figure this out. The x86_64 binaries have a been a
bit tricky because of the different integer sizes.
