Hi Steve,
Thanks for finding the bug. Basically, we were making fragile assumptions
about non-mandatory levels that resulted in problems. We believe we have
resolved this issue and you can try the nightly IDV tomorrow:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/idv/nightly/index.jsp
Moreover, we made some of the code in this area more robust in case there
are more problems like this.
Let us know what issues you find.
Best,
Unidata IDV Support
