I just discovered that I get the udunits-2 error mentioned in the previous email if I call ut_string_fix on its own. However, if I call ut_string and THEN call ut_string_fix, then I get no error and my script runs normally. So it appears that there's a bug in ut_string_fix in how it's calling the udunits-2 library. Sorry to keep finding bugs in this script.<div><br></div><div>Again, this is a problem with NCL v6.4.0, loading a special pre-release version of ut_string_fix for v6.5.0 (after I found an earlier bug with the v6.4.0 ut_string_fix function).
