[ncl-talk] Issue reading grib in 6.3.0?

[Carl Schreck]

I'm having a strange issue where NAM forecast grib files from ldm are not
able to be read in 6.3.0. A sample file is:
ftp://filsrv.cicsnc.org/carl/temp/nam.t06z.awip1203

The error I get is:
--
fatal:["FileSupport.c":4159]:(/home/carl/ftp/temp/nam.t06z.awip1203.grib)
has no file extension, can't determine type of file to open

Variable: f
Type: file
(0) File Missing Value : -1
--
Renaming the file to have a .grib extension makes no difference. It does
work if I roll back to 6.2.1, however.

The binaries I downloaded are:
ncl_ncarg-6.2.1.Linux_SL6.5_x86_64_gcc447.tar.gz
ncl_ncarg-6.3.0.Linux_RHEL6.4_x86_64_gcc447.tar.gz

Thanks!
