Hi Mary,
Thanks for directions. I disabled optimization and re-compiled to
generate a new binary but the problem seem to persist. Below is the
trace output from core. It looks like these functions call each other
recursively and control never returns to calling function. May be a
glitch in the condition checks before functions are called? I will
continue to investigate further but please let me know if there is
something I am missing.

Hi Opesh,
This sounds like an optimization problem. Thanks for the debugging
effort here, as it helps determine the problem.
Try this:
- cd $NCARG/ni/src/lib/hlu
- Edit the "Makefile" and change all occurences of "-O" to "-g"
- Type:
/bin/rm Create.o
make includes depend all install
cd ../../ncl
make install
This should rebuild the HLU library with optimization for "Create.c"
taken down a notch.
Then, "ncl" will get rebuilt against the new library.
If this doesn't work, then try turning off optimization for all *.o
files in
the HLU library with:
make clean includes depend all install
cd ../../ncl
make install
--Mary
