[ncl-talk] Animation script hanging after set number of frames

[Rick Brownrigg]

Hi Noah,

I hate to say this, but it works for me. I tested using our latest
development code, and the latest official release, 6.3.0.

What version of NCL are you using, and on what machine?

   ncl -V
  uname -a

And what do you mean by "...my script hangs after exactly 94 frames..."? Do
you mean the counter stops there at 94 (it should go to 200) and the
program never exits? Or does it exit at 94?

I can send you those pngs if you like, but that doesn't help you in the
long run if you need to do this again/differently.

Not sure what to suggest here...
Rick
