Sorry, but I cannot reproduce this result at all. And even if there is  
a problem in v1.9, the first thing I'm going to say is try it in v2.0,  
because I'm not actively supporting v1.9 anymore.

The error message you're getting is that the world coordinate for  
dimension 1, that's  Y, doesn't convert to an integer grid coordinate.  
When you 'set lat 0', GrADS returns (LAT set to 0.5). Try setting a  
lat value that exactly matches a grid coordinate value and see if you  
get the same message.
