[Wrf-users] more WRF 3.2 issues: delayed initialization of nests and fine_input_stream

[wrfhelp]

In V3.2, when you use auxiliary input such as this input option  
(fine_input_stream = 0, 2, implies
that you are using auxiliary input stream 2), you need to set the  
io_form for it to define the data format.
In this case, add io_form_auxinput2 = 2 in &time_control. In previous  
versions, it was set in the registry by
default. This is a result of expanded IO capability in other areas.
