I've run into this problem where if I try to draw cross-sections on a
derived field (e.g., potential temperature) and try to load more than one
forecast time, the display will not appear and I get the following errors:
ERROR: Creating display: Color-Shaded Cross Section
java.lang.NullPointerException

The problem also occurs with another derived field (Relative humidity),
and with different NWP models, so I suspect this may be a general problem
with "derived" quantitites. I've run this on both OSX and Linux
64-bit systems . . .
Thanks,
Kevin
